Exhaust fumes of motor cars, gases produced from coal fire in a closed room and coal gas, all contain carbon monoxide, which is the cause of their poisonous nature. When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it prevents the oxygen from combining with hemoglobin and instead combines itself with hemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin, which is stable compound. This causes oxygen starvation in the body tissues and eventually causes death by suffocation.

A carbon footprint is historically defined as “the total sets of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person.” The most common way to reduce the carbon footprint of humans is to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse. Recycling waste materials, using energy efficient appliances and using public transportation for commutation can all serve to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and, thus, reduce Carbon footprint.
