Question
Explain how oxygen deficiency is caused by carbon monoxide in our blood? Give its effect.
Solution
- Carbon monoxide binds with haemoglobin and form carboxyhemoglobin which impairs normal oxygen transport by blood and hence the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood is reduced.
- This oxygen deficiency results in headache, dizziness, tension, loss of consciousness, blurring of eyesight and cardiac arrest.
