Carbon Monoxide CO TestA one time use used to identify carbon monoxide is available but requires replacement every three months. The Professional Carbon Monoxide Test Kit test button changes color if carbon monoxide is present. The speed at which it changes determines the concentration.
Carbon Monoxide CO detectorsGas detectors are similar to smoke detectors in that they emit a powerful beep if gas fumes reach a hazardous level. Gasses such as radon and carbon monoxide are colorless and odorless. Thanks to gas detectors, were now able to tell if any of these gasses have reached dangerous levels in our homes. For those who use natural gas to cook and heat their homes, gas detectors are a must for detecting leaks.
What is Carbon MonoxideWhen we breathe air containing carbon monoxide, it is absorbed through the bloodstream where it displaces oxygen and bonds with the haemoglobin in your blood. Carbon monoxide has a greater affinity to haemoglobin than oxygen; CO bonds to haemoglobin about 250 times better than oxygen. Without oxygen, vital organs, your heart and brain become deprived and will begin to deteriorate. To compensate, your heart rate increases, breathing may become difficult and in the most serious circumstances cardiac trauma, brain damage, coma and even death will result.

2008-12-27 Indoor air quality on rise with well-sealed modern homes - Home - Belleville News-DemocratThe fault line: Problems associated with indoor air quality have increased since the late 1970s and early 1980s, when builders started adding large quantities of insulation to new houses to reduce energy costs without balancing it with adequate ventilation to exchange polluted indoor air with fresh outdoor air. Excessive moisture and high temperatures created mold issues. Carbon monoxide from gas stoves, dryers and furnaces, if not properly vented outside, can cause illness and even death. The quality of the air we breathe indoors becomes even more important in the colder months, when we naturally spend more time inside. But the list of things that pollute that air is a long one, featuring such varied culprits as combustion sources (oil, gas, kerosene, coal, wood and tobacco), building materials (deteriorated insulation, damp carpet), household cleaners, even our furniture and
