How does inhaling carbon decrease the oxygen level in your blood?

1 Answer

Answer :

Carbon monoxide, which has a higher affinity for hemoglobin inthe red blood cell, displaces oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule,thus decreasing the oxygen level in the bloodstream, and reducingits delivery to the bodily tissues and cells.
