Question

Higher Order Thinking Skill.

When a carbon fuel burns in less aerated room, it is dangerous to stay there. Why?

Short Note

Solution

When carbon fuel bums in less aerated room, carbon monoxide is formed. When people are exposed to CO, it enters into human body through breathing and affects the function of haemoglobin. CO displaces oxygen from haemoglobin thereby stops its function (supply of oxygen to the parts of body) leading to death.
