Exposure to large quantities of carbon monoxide (CO) in a poorly ventilated space can be lethal. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence during winter months because furnaces run the risk of emitting large quantities of CO. When inhaled, CO has a higher affinity for the heme group on hemoglobin than does oxygen, and will block the heme from becoming oxygenated. True False
