I've been experiencing some symptoms of low level carbon monoxide
exposure. I have an 10 year old oil-filled radiator heater under my
computer desk. I sit at this desk eight hours a day. I've read that
electric oil-filled heaters aren't a carbon monoxide risk, but I wonder
if this is always true?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Only if the oil gets ignited and it burns.

Which the unit is designed to prevent.
Also,you might notice if it did ignite the oil.
Carbon monoxide is formed by incomplete combustion.
