Saltash family treated for carbon monoxide poisoning
BBC News
Three children and two adults have been treated in hospital for carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Cornwall Fire and Rescue was alerted after a CO detector alarm sounded at a house in Saltash on Tuesday evening. Crews wearing breathing apparatus evacuated ...Note please, this quote from the article: Crews evacuated the house and the family was taken to hospital suffering from headaches and nausea…. “We're pleased that a carbon monoxide detector alerted the family in this case to the presence of carbon monoxide in their property.” The carbon monoxide alarm saved their lives. A low level carbon monoxide alarm would have prevented the headaches and nausea associated with the levels present before the alarm went off. The next question might be “How long were they in harmful concentrations of carbon monoxide before the alarm went off?”

Carbon monoxide alarms
Read the information on the packaging and the instructions that come with the carbon monoxide alarms you purchase. They must give you the test points for the concentrations of carbon monoxide they were tested and listed for. I am looking at one now that indicates it was tested at 70, 150 and 400 PPM of carbon monoxide. There are required time periods these alarms must resist alarming at these concentrations.
The concentration of CO over 70 PPM and under 150 PPM of CO for example, has the same time period of restraint the alarm must adhere to if the manufacturer wants to meet the listing requirement. Over 150 and under 400 PPM it has another time constraint before alarming. Over 400 PPM it has another time constraint before it must alarm. Please read the information the manufacturer provides with your Carbon Monoxide alarm.
