CO2 or carbon dioxide and CO as in carbon monoxide are the gases that are emitted during the combustion process of various fuels. Carbon monoxide is very poisonous, whereas carbon dioxide is not at all toxic in nature.
The reason why carbon monoxide is poisonous is because it has the capacity of forming a complex with blood as in haemoglobin. Haemoglobin contaminated with carbon monoxide results in building carboxyhaemoglobin, which is known to decrease the oxygen-carrying ability of the blood. This is a result of three to four per cent of carboxyhaemoglobin in the bloodstream. This decrease in oxygen level in blood vessels, resulting in headaches, poor eyesight, nervousness and many heart-related problems (Cardiovascular diseases). A higher concentration of carbon monoxide is known to even lead to death.
It is also to be known that carbon monoxide is not available in nature, it is created by, for example, incomplete consumption of coal, natural gas or oil. Lower levels of oxygen or even at lower temperatures is known to emit carbon monoxide in the mixture
