The Importance of Carbon Monoxide Alarm & Concentration Level

The Importance of Carbon Monoxide Alarm & Concentration Level

Once in a while, we’ll often hear about tragic incidents of people suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, especially during winter times. This is also much more common In big metropolitan cities where high-rises and apartments are a norm. This is because high concentration of these toxic gases could often accumulate and reach dangerous levels in enclosed space.

In addition, doctors & experts warn that whenever one feels nauseous, weak, uncomfortable or unconscious, please make sure to turn off any cooking device & open the window to allow ventilation. 

To prevent these accidents, it is important to install CO detector alarms in any enclosed areas & strategic points such as kitchen, basement, bedroom, etc.
