Zorluk: KolayPollution Types, Causes, Effects, and Control

Which of the following air pollutants reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of human blood by binding with hemoglobin?

  1. Carbon monoxideCevap
  2. B
    Sulfur dioxide
  3. C
    Chlorofluorocarbon
  4. D
    Carbon dioxide

Cevap

Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide combines with blood hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, severely diminishing the capacity of red blood cells to transport oxygen.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the biological mechanism of carbon monoxide toxicity in humans.
Carbon monoxide (COCO) has an affinity for hemoglobin over 200 times greater than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin.
This stable complex reduces the available hemoglobin sites for oxygen binding and inhibits oxygen release to tissues.
