    1. Information About Carbon Monoxide General Carbon Monoxide Information Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxy- gen. Periodically review this user guide and discuss your CO alarm emergency procedure with all the members of your family.
