What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. It’s often called the “silent killer” because it’s impossible to detect without proper equipment.
Common Sources of Carbon Monoxide in Your Home
- Furnaces and boilers
- Gas stoves and ovens
- Fireplaces and wood stoves
- Water heaters
- Portable generators
The Dangers of Carbon Monoxide Exposure
Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be lethal. Even low-level exposure over time can lead to serious health issues, including:
- Headaches and dizziness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Chest pain and confusion
- Loss of consciousness

To safeguard your home against carbon monoxide risks:
1. Install CO detectors on every level of your home
