Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic gas released when
fuels are burned. It is colourless and odourless and is,
therefore,verydifficultforhumansensestoperceive.Thefirst

Although feeling unwell, victims of carbon monoxide
poisoning become so disorientated that they can no longer
decide what to do next, including being unable to exit the
building or to call for assistance. Very young children often
show symptoms earlier than adults. Being affected while
asleep is the most dangerous situation as the victim will not
wakeasaresult.
A hazardous carbon monoxide concentration can be caused
by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels for example solid
fuels(like wood, coal, coke),liquid fuels (like oil or petrol) or
gaseous fuels (like natural, town or liquid (LPG) gas). There

All heating appliances must be regularly serviced by a
qualifiedspecialist.
Ideally,acarbonmonoxidealarmshouldbeinstalledinevery
room with a combustion device or where a flue/chimney
passesthrough.
Additional detectors may be installed to ensure that
adequate warning is given for occupants in other rooms
by locating detectors in remote rooms in which the
occupants spend considerable time whilst awake and
fromwhich they maynotbeableto hear analarmsignal
