Carbon monoxide isn't useless, it was a component of "illuminating gas" (along with Hydrogen) and was used in gas lights.

It is dangerous. It is also unstable. Many processes oxidize it into carbon dioxide.

How does carbon manoxide destroy the earth's ozone?

Carbon mono oxide causes greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect then causes ozone depletion.


What gas is involved in the carbon cycle?

Carbon dioxide gas is largely involved in the carbon cycle. Carbon mono-oxide also plays a very limited role in this cycle.


Is carbon mono oxide useful?

Carbon monoxide is not useful for human consumption as it can be toxic when inhaled in high concentrations. However, it does have industrial applications, such as in the production of certain chemicals and as a reducing agent in metallurgy. Proper safety measures should always be in place when dealing with carbon monoxide to prevent harmful exposure.
