Carbon monoxide has no smell, color, or taste. It’s commonly referred to as the ‘silent killer’ for these reasons. Sadly, one of the most common causes of death by poisoning in North America is carbon dioxide. The only guard you have against the risk of CO poisoning is a carbon monoxide gas detector.

Carbon monoxide can come into our environment through various means. Any time something is burned, carbon monoxide is released into the air. This includes gasoline, natural gas, wood, oil, propane, and charcoal. In outdoor spaces, the health hazard is low as there’s enough area to allow CO to simply dissipate which means the particles never reach a toxic level. However, in industrial and manufacturing settings it places workers at risk.
