Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and very toxic. It also moves freely in the air. CO detectors can
measure the concentration and sound a loud alarm before a potentially harmful level is reached. The human body
is most vulnerable to the effects of CO gas during sleeping hours; therefore, CO detectors should be located in or
as near as possible to sleeping areas of the home. For maximum protection, a CO alarm should be located outside
primary sleeping areas or on each level of your home. Figure 5 indicates the suggested locations in the home.

l In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or chimneys
l Do not place in close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe; this will damage the detector
