Carbon Monoxide Alarm System
A carbon monoxide detector or carbon monoxide alarm is a device that sounds an alert if it detects the presence of the odourless, tasteless, and colourless gas. It continuously monitors and measures the level of carbon monoxide in the air.
What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide gas (CO gas) is a simple molecule: one part carbon and one part oxygen. Carbon monoxide comes when carbon fuel—like wood, gasoline, coal, propane, natural gas, and heating oil—fails to burn completely (incomplete combustion).
These energy sources aren’t dangerous when you burn them in an open area with plenty of ventilation. But carbon monoxide is hazardous in confined spaces—like basements, kitchens, garages, or campers.
Carbon monoxide is hard to detect without a sensor, which is one of the reasons it’s so dangerous.
Why is carbon monoxide dangerous?
Carbon monoxide is deadly because it binds with your red blood cells and starves your body of oxygen after passing into your lungs.
How do you detect carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide detectors are the fastest way to prevent CO poisoning. In your home, you can install a carbon monoxide alarm (or multiple detectors). They work much like your fire or smoke alarm by sounding a siren when they detect carbon monoxide.
