CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. Periodically review this user guide and discuss your CO alarm emergency procedure with all the members of your family.
- Page 6 1. Information About Carbon Monoxide Possible Sources of Carbon Monoxide Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also produce dangerous levels of CO. CO can be produced when burning any fossil fuel, such as gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil and wood.
