Zoology - Breathing and Exchange of Gases Question with Solution | TestHub

Coal is a fossil fuel which on burning produces heat and gives out carbon monoxide as waste or pollutant. Haemoglobin shows more affinity to$\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}$than oxygen. When this$\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}$filled air is inhaled, it replaces oxygen in our blood and forms carboxyhemoglobin$\left(\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{b}\right)$.$\mathrm{C}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{H}\mathrm{b}$is very toxic and can lead to respiratory diseases and even cause neurological complications. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death of the individual.
