What is the biochemical effect of carbon monoxide?
What is the biochemical effect of carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide has a great affinity for hemoglobin (Hb) than oxygen (O2). It attacks Hb and displaces O2 to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), reducing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood.
What is the effect of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas?
What is the effect of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas?
Carbon dioxide acts as a thermal absorber, preventing some infrared (IR) emissions from the Earth from being radiated back to space.
How does carbon monoxide affect suffocation and death?
How does carbon monoxide affect suffocation and death?
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin more strongly than oxygen, resulting in the displacement of oxygen molecules and reducing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. This can lead to suffocation and death.
