Came home with a new detector. No alrams.
But I'm curious, what are sources of CO in a home?



Anything that has an internal combustion engine, gas appliances, or
anything that burns. There is a small amount of CO present in the air
and it is in equilibrium with carbon dioxide. Pouring water on hot
coals will produce a lot of CO.
