carbon monoxide alarms

Toxic gas sentinels

Carbon monoxide alarms are devices that detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide gas and sound an alert.

Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, making it impossible to detect without instruments.

The alarms are typically required in homes with gas appliances or attached garages: Make sure your carbon monoxide alarms have fresh batteries.
