Carbon monoxide (CO):
- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels.
- It is a potentially dangerous and toxic gas because it can interfere with the body's ability to transport oxygen, leading to various health problems, including death.
- Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen does, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen. This can lead to tissue damage and oxygen deprivation.
- Person dying of CO inhalation exhibit characteristic bright pink colour of the flesh due to the presence of pink-coloured carboxyhemoglobin in their blood.
- CO is not a permanent pollutant.
Hence statement (A) is correct but statement (B) is incorrect.
