Gas Detection: Carbon Monoxide Detection
Carbon Monoxide is a deadly toxic gas that has no smell and cannot be seen or tasted. Its presence is lethal causing death and injury, it can be caused by poorly installed or maintained heating appliances, chimneys, flues and gas fired cooking appliances.,Even low levels of CO can impair judgement and greatly increase risk of accidents and injury in motorists and machine operators. See "key characteristics" table for details of carbon monoxide level and their effects.
