Indoor air quality guidelines are intended to prevent health risks
World Health Organization (WHO)
The WHO indoor air quality guidelines for selected pollutants (chemicals) are intended to prevent health risks from these pollutants, which are often present indoors in concentrations of concern for health. They include background material summarizing the evidence on health risks…
The WHO Guidelines consider various levels of economic development, cover all relevant population groups and enable feasible approaches to reduce health risks from exposure to the pollutants in various regions of the world. Existing national and international guidelines, experience in regulating indoor air quality and results of international reviews supported the discussion and its conclusions… 50 experts recommended indoor air quality guidelines for the following pollutants:
· benzene
· carbon monoxide (CO)
· formaldehyde
· nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
· naphthalene
· polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
· radon
· tetra- and tri-chloroethylene

standards – The lowest U.L. 2034 & CSA 6.19 carbon monoxide alarm test point is:
- 70 PPM to 149 PPM –resist one hour, must alarm before 4 hours
Please read the alarm information on the packageand in the instructions. Know when your fire department and emergency responders begin wearing their breathing apparatus and what their civilian evacuation levels are for carbon monoxide; it may be before 70 PPM. It is for pregnant women, infants & children, the elderly and all people of vulnerable health. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
Consider low level protection for carbon monoxide and smoldering fire detection problems; don't leave anyone behind.
