Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas which interferes with the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. CO is non-irritating and can overcome persons without warning. Many people die from CO poisoning, usually while using gasoline powered tools and generators in buildings or semi-enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation. Severe carbon monoxide poisoning causes neurological damage, illness, coma and death.
Carbon monoxide is a product of the in- complete combustion of carbon and hydrocarbons in a limited supply of oxygen at high temperatures (circa 1000). It is colourless, odourless and non-irritant, therefore it cannot be detected by human senses.
