Carbon Monoxide is a colourless, odorless, and taseless gas and is fatal to the human body.
Explain how carbon monoxide is formed
Carbon monoxide is formed when incomplete combustion occurs meaning there is not enough oxygen in the air to form CO2 but instead it forms CO which is Carbon Monoxide
Explain why carbon monoxide is poisonous
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous because it latches on faster and quicker to the hemoglobin than the oxygen molecules this makes your cells suffocate. It slowly takes away your oxygen supply and literally suffocates and kills you in a matter of minutes. The death is caused due to insufficient amounts of oxygen.
