What are the problems with carbon monoxide?

Answer 1

When carbon monoxide enters in body it combines with haemoglobin and convert in carboxyhaemoglobin. Carbonxyhaemoglobin dinders the delivery of oxygen to body cell. This leads to hypoxia. Hypoxia is a pathological condition in which the body as a whole or a part of the body is deprived od adequate oxygen supply. This condition leads to many problems like headache, dizziness, general lethargy, chest pain, sickness, diarrhoea and even cause to death.

Answer 2

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be very harmful to human health when inhaled in high concentrations. It can cause symptoms like headache, dizziness, and nausea, and at very high levels, it can be fatal. Long-term exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide can also lead to health issues like heart problems and reduced cognitive function.

Answer 3

Symptoms of mild acute poisoning will include light-headedness, confusion, headaches, vertigo, and flu-like effects; larger exposures can lead to significant toxicity of the central nervous system and heart, and death.

Answer 4

Health effects of carbon monoxide: * headaches * dizziness * shortness of breath * slower reflexes and reduced perception * at high levels: seizures, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure and death.

Answer 5

It bonds with the haemoglobin in your blood so that it is not available to bond with oxygen. Therefore you asphyxiate and die. Early symptoms are tiredness, dizziness, headaches, nausea, blurring of vision.

Answer 6

you die.

It's kind of like suffocation because CO binds to things in your blood that carry oxygen (irons of the hemoglobin). The affinity of CO and hemoglobin is 200 times stronger than that of O2 and hemoglobin. Death is a big problem that results, other issues are headache, disease, nausea, low blood pressure, increased heart rates, delirium, etc.

Answer 7

Carbon monoxide is absorbed into the blood cells in the same way as Oxygen. In fact it blocks the blood from receiving oxygen instead.

This is not good and the body dies of oxygen starvation, with the usual symptoms of drowsiness and head aches.

An indication that someone is suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning is that their lips go 'Cherry Red'. This is an indication that the blood has absorbed CO instead of O2.

Answer 8

carbon monoxide if inhaled will react with hemoglobin in your blood to form a stable compound carboxyhaemoglobin which prevents the distribution of oxygen in the body. This causes severe headache and damages to the brain.0.5% of carbon monoxide if inhaled causes death.

Answer 9

co2 can cause a lot of health issues an if in a long term exposer can cause death aka the silent killer

Answer 10

its called carbonopia
