How Much CO is too much?
I have a high-sensitivity CO detector.
Been reading 000 for years. All of a sudden tonight, it went off at 15PPM. House has been closed up tight all day. I replaced the battery and moved it to another room. Reading gradually went back to zero. Furnace is off, but I turned off the gas anyway. Don't have anything else that burns fuel. So, I opened the windows, turned on the exhaust fan and the reading went up. So, took it outside and it reads 28PPM. There's a light breeze, so any local source oughta dissipate?? I can't think of a detector failure mode that would explain the readings. I have two other standard-sensitivity CO detectors that remain silent. So, is 28PPM high for an outdoor reading? Can't think of anything I could do about it anyway. |
