What is a “normal” level of carbon monoxide inside a home?
Carbon monoxide levels that may be considered “normal” inside a home or building should be no more than the levels found outside the home or building. There may be “spikes” of occurrence where CO from cigarette smoke, candles, incense, unvented and poorly combusting gas appliances may be generated into the air. Poorly combusting, or damaged gas, oil, wood or coal heating appliances & systems or water heaters may also contribute to above “normal” levels of CO.
Automotive exhaust containing CO may also enter homes and buildings and be the cause of above “normal” levels. It is easy enough to measure the levels of carbon monoxide in a home or building continuously and, be alerted to levels before they make you sick or increase in danger. We have all been poisoned by carbon monoxide, and will be again.
This Carbon Monoxide News link is filled with accidents of CO poisoning occurring from misuse of gasoline generators, propane floor scrubbers, barbeque devices, gasoline powered snow mobiles, cars & trucks, boats, scrubbers and other such systems. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
