carbon monoxide alarm

Toxic fume sentinel

A carbon monoxide alarm is a device that detects dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas and sounds a warning.

Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, making electronic detection essential for safety.

Most building codes require these alarms in homes with fuel-burning appliances or attached garages: The carbon monoxide alarm went off when the furnace malfunctioned.
