Carbon monoxide is a harmful pollutant. It is released from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuel. The hemoglobin has 200 times more affinity towards carbon monoxide than oxygen. So, whenever a person inhales carbon monoxide it will combine with hemoglobin and form carboxyhemoglobin that will not be able to deliver oxygen to the tissue. It makes our nervous system inactive and causes drowsiness. It ultimately leads to death.
