Carbon Monoxide Survey Summary

Carbon Monoxide Survey Summary

Background

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and toxic gas that you cannot see or smell. It is toxic to all humans and animals. It is produced whenever something is burned incompletely or when something is burned in a closed-in area. CO can be found in households from sources such as gas appliances, wood burning stoves and fireplaces. The amount produced while using fuel-burning appliances is usually not harmful, but it can become so when appliances are used improperly and/or are not functioning correctly.
