Today, carbon monoxide poisoning is the most common fatal poisoning in developed industrialized countries. In the United States, at least six hundred people die annually due to unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is a very toxic gas with no color, odor and taste, so it can not be detected without proper equipment. We can not see carbon monoxide or smell, but it can kill us.
The level of carbon monoxide in the apartment increases due to improper installation, operation and maintenance of the wood and coal furnace, fireplaces and gas burners for heating rooms and water.
Alarm devices for carbon monoxide alert us to the increased concentration of carbon monoxide in the air and can save our lives.
