We just talked about O2 binding and releasing [4 O2's at a time] from haemoglobin molecules that transport oxygen through the blood. The poisonous nature of CO comes from the fact that while it readily binds to haemoglobin it will not disassociate! Carbon monoxide poisoning [lack of O2 supply] results.
