CO gas is more dangerous than CO2 gas because : 

1. CO is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is more stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex. 

2. CO is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is less stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex. 

3. CO2 is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is more stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex. 

4. CO2 is capable of forming a complex with haemoglobin (carboxyhemoglobin), that is less stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.
