What happen when the exposure to carbon monoxide (from coal gas) is extremely dangerous and can kill a patient?

COHb greatly modifies the structure of haemoglobin thus making it lose its affinity for oxygen.

The compound carboxy-haemoglobin (COHb) it forms with haemoglobin can gradually clot the blood resulting in circulatory failure.

COHb reduces the ability of blood to transport oxygen by rupturing a vast majority of erythrocytes.

COHb is stable compound and thus deprives blood of its ability to transport oxygen.
