Asphyxiants: Carbon Monoxide (CO) Introduction: Carbon  monoxide reacts  200 times  more  tightly  with hemoglobin  than  oxygen and causes  anemic  type  of hypoxia. CO combines reversibly with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) producing  anemic hypoxia  (blood O2 -carrying capacity is reduced). It inhibits the electron transport by blocking cytochrome A3 oxidase and cytochrome P450 and hence
