What are the effects of carbon monoxide?

When carbon monoxide is inhaled, carbon monoxide gas passes through your body and combines with red blood cells. The role of these red blood cells, called hemoglobin, is to bind oxygen to red blood cells 200 times faster, preventing oxygen from reaching vital areas like your heart and brain. Because carbon monoxide builds up in your blood, your body is starved of oxygen.

Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are usually headache, dizziness, decreased breathing, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and confusion. Breathing in high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal within minutes, and inhaling your levels for extended periods of time is also dangerous, and long-term exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide can cause permanent damage to the heart and brain.

In the United States, the death rate caused by carbon monoxide poisoning ranks first. According to certain clinical records, at least 10,000 Americans are affected by carbon monoxide poisoning each year. Everyone is affected by carbon monoxide, and experts believe that unborn babies, children, the elderly, and people with heart or respiratory diseases are vulnerable to carbon monoxide and are most at risk of death or serious injury.
