CO does not sink. CO has a molecular weight of 28, the same as
nitrogen which makes up the majority of our atmosphere.

Yeah, so doesn't rise either.

We don't have natural gas.

The damn house is already full of smoke detectors; in my state at
least, not only on "each level" but also in each bedroom as well as
hallways outside the bedrooms.

Whereas CO only arises from a fuel buring appliance, which in my house
is only located in the basement (yeah, we have those here).

I'm gonna get around to buying one to put at near the basement stair.
There is presently a run on them in my area as we just had a local
case in the local news where some elderly people where gassed by CO
from a clogged oil furnace/boiler (wasn't clear which) flue. The news
also said that the heating system had recently been serviced; if true,
then maybe somebody's gonna get sued?
