Carbon monoxide gas is more dangerous than carbon dioxide gas. Why?

Answer:
Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form a very stable compound known as carboxyhaemoglobin when its concentration in blood reaches 3-4%, the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is greatly reduced. This results into headache, nervousness and sometimes death of the person. On the other hand CO2 does not combine with haemoglobin and hence is less harmful than CO.
Thanks
