Answer #1

CH4 (g) + 5/2 O2 (g) ( less amount or limited) ----------> CO (g) + 2 H2O (g)

CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) ( excess) ----------> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)

The produced CO inhale by people in more amount then it is reacts with the blood and forms more stable complex carboxy haemoglobin which is more stable than oxyhaemoglobin complex. so insufficient amount of oxygen to the people become dies
