    WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CO Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It is a cumulative poison . Even low levels of CO have been shown to cause brain and other vital organ damage in unborn infants with no effect on the mother .

  • Page 11: Potential Sources Of Co

    Because carbon monoxide may dissipate by the time a first responder or investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO . USI Electric/Universal Security Instruments shall not be obligated to pay for or reimburse the user of this alarm for any carbon monoxide investigation or service calls . Fire departments, HVAC contractors and most utility companies will perform CO inspections .
