Carbon monoxide (CO) diminishes the bloods haemoglobin's (haemoglobin) capacity to form oxyhaemoglobin which carries oxygen to the cells. It does this by uniting with haemoglobin to form carbon monoxyhaemoglobin which is more stable than carboxyhaemoglobin.
As consequence the oxygen capacity of the blood is reduced; the cells get less oxygen. If the blood doesn't obtain and carry oxygen, then the muscles and organs never get oxygen. The organ that uses the most oxygen is the brain, and is the first to be damaged. If cells don't get adequate oxygen, then they will die. Little exposure to carbon monoxide can result in temporary brain damage that can repaired. Prolonged exposure will cause massive damage to the brain and the animal will die.
What else can I help you with?
Symbol of carbon monoxide?
The symbol for carbon monoxide is CO. It is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels. Carbon monoxide is toxic to humans and animals when inhaled in high concentrations.
What is an important source of carbon monoxide emissions that contributes to the greenhouse effect?
There is no important source of carbon monoxide that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon monoxide makes an insignificant contribution. If the question should read "Carbon dioxide" then see the related question below. ^He is right^ But the answer Novanet is looking for is Vehicles Stupid Novanet Grad Point answer: Vehicles
Vehicle emissions devices incorporate a chemical reaction to help control carbon monoxide pollution What effect does adding a catalyst have for this reaction?
It produces more carbon monoxide.
Why is carbon monoxide an air pollutant?
it make humans and animals ill!
Does charcoal contain carbon monoxide?
It does not contain carbon monoxide, but it will likely produce carbon monoxide when burned.
What effect carbon monoxide in 2 stroke engine?
carbon monoxide in 2 stroke engine
Is carbon monoxide made from a complete combustion?
Carbon monoxide is not the result of a complete combustion.Carbon monoxide is made when hydrocarbons are burnt in low amount of oxygen. That means when partial combustion is happened. Carbon monoxide is harmful to the animals.
What is the effect of carbon monoxide on moist litmus paper?
Carbon monoxide does not have a direct effect on moist litmus paper as it is not an acidic or basic gas. Litmus paper changes color in response to acidic or basic substances.
What is nature of carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a colourless gas that is indetectable to people and animals, and toxic to them in higher concentrations. You might wish to read the carbon monoxide article on wikipedia for more information.

Do plants absorb carbon monoxide as part of their natural process?
No, plants do not absorb carbon monoxide as part of their natural process. They primarily absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that can be harmful to plants and animals.
Is carbon monoxide toxic to tree roots?
No it is not.But it is harm for animals.
What happens to carbon when isooctane burns in a car's engine?
When hydrocarbons are burned, carbon dioxide is formed. If the hydrocarbon is burned in low amount of oxygen, carbon monoxide can be formed. Carbon monoxide is harmful for animals.
Vehicle emissions devices incorporate a chemical reaction to help control carbon monoxide pollution What effect does adding a catalyst have for this reaction?
It produces more carbon monoxide.
When you think of carbon monoxide what do you think of?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is toxic to humans and animals when inhaled in high concentrations. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as gasoline, wood, and natural gas. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly and it is important to have carbon monoxide detectors in living spaces to alert individuals of its presence.
the ceatoon of carbon monoxide in an effect . what is one cause?
A. the regrouping of the atoms in table salt This is because carbon monoxide is extremely toxic for us humans. An example of this could be pollution.
