Carbon Monoxide

By Shelly Vargas & Mark Rousseau - May 18, 2015

Colorless, Odorless and Deadly

That is the description of carbon monoxide (CO), which can be formed when carbon based fuels such as natural gas, diesel or gasoline is burned incompletely. This can occur in water heaters, furnaces, gas stoves and car and truck engines. On average, 170 people in the US die per year from CO poisoning, and over 15,000 people suffered from CO exposure in 2007 according to US Poison Control Centers data. The best way to avoid CO poisoning is to have a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
