Greetings to everyone and Happy Friday to us all. Yea, it's fridaaay. I
will be sharing a post on carbon monoxide poisoning. One way or the other we have inhaled little or excessive carbon monoxide consciously or unconsciously.
WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE
According to WIKIPEDIA
It is a colorless and odorless gas which is initially non irritating.

The following can all produce CO and potentially lead to CO poisoning:
Leaving a car in a closed garage with its engine running.
Burning charcoal in a poorly-ventilated environment.
The fumes from certain paint removers and cleaning fluids.
According to mayoclicnic
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide builds up in your bloodstream. When too much carbon monoxide is in the air, your body replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This can lead to serious tissue damage, or even death.
The best way of solving carbon monoxide from causing harm to the health is by applying the measure to prevent what causes it.
Simple precautions can help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
According to mayoclinic. org,
Install carbon monoxide detectors. Put one in the hallway near each sleeping area in your house. Open the garage door before starting your car. Never leave your car running in your garage. Be particularly cautious if you have an attached garage.

Hi, @marynn. Yes, I've heard of people dying because of that poisoning.
BTW. I noticed that you have several sentences taken from other websites. If you don't quote them properly, you risk running into plagiarism. Also, it's not advisable to quote such a long text. In that was the case, it would make more sense to visit the site and read from it directly.
Thanks so much, I will read through my work and make necessary amendment.
Affinity of hemoglobin to CO is 240 times than that to O, and since Hb is responsible for carrying and transporting oxygen that makes CO poisoning really dangerous since it takes oxygen place and prevent it from reaching vital organs.
It's more popular that carbon monoxide poisoning occurs in winter when using heaters, yet I'm not sure if that's the situation in all the world or just here.
Thanks for your contribution dear. Using of heater and fossil fuels, smokes cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Generally the situation is all over the world although many countries are applying measure of preventing this.
