IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM 

 

1

WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE?   

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO blinds to the hemoglobin 

in the blood and inhibits its capacity to carry oxygen. CO kills hundreds of people each year and injures many more because it 

is difficult to be detected with the human senses. In high concentrations, CO can kill in minutes.
