Suggest a reason as to why CO is poisonous.
थोडक्यात उत्तर
उत्तर
Carbon monoxide is highly-poisonous because of its ability to form a complex with haemoglobin. The CO–Hb complex is more stable than the O2–Hb complex. The former prevents Hb from binding with oxygen. Thus, a person dies because of suffocation on not receiving oxygen. It is found that the
CO–Hb complex is about 300 times more stable than the O2–Hb complex.
