Wallace Lim: Carbon Monoxide

carbon monoxide is a gas produced by car engines. it is a major cause of deaths for people. when they inhale too much of it, they will die eventually. whats more, it is colourless, odorless and tasteless. therefore, most of the people tend to die while sleeping in their automobiles while they are sleeping. it is produced from the combustion of the engine. it is a result of the lack of oxygen to produce CO2. therefore, it it is made up of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, with a triple bond. when it enters our body, it combines with our haemoglobins in our bodies and produces carboxyhemoglobin. this will result in a lack of oxygen for our body as the haemoglobins will be no longer transport the oxygen needed for our body to produce energy, causing suffocation.
