The
Professional Carbon Monoxide Test Kit
 What
is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is an odorless,
tasteless, and colorless gas which is caused by incomplete
combustion of fossil fuels from Gasoline, Kerosene, Natural
Gas, Butane, Propane, Fuel oil, wood or coal and any other
type of fuel.
It is estimated that carbon
monoxide causes as many as 1,000 deaths per year in the
United States.
Carbon monoxide gas can be
emitted by
- Fire places
- Gas heaters
- Gas stoves
- Gas or oil furnaces
- Wood, coal or gas dryers
- Gas barbeques
Recommended test areas are:
homes, kitchens, furnace areas, garages, cars, RVs, campers,
boats, airplanes,
wood stoves, fireplaces, space heaters and
water heaters.
Caution: The sensor button
will be damaged by halogens, ammoniac and nitrous gases.
Keep away from cleaners, solvents and other contaminants.
Harsh direct sunlight will bleach out sensor button and
shorten useful life.

- Do you have a gas or oil
burning furnace in your home or office?
- Do you have a working fireplace?
- Do you have a gas clothes
dryer?
- Do you have a gas or oil
burning water heater?
- Do you have a kerosene,
gas, or oil burning space heater?
- Do you or someone you know
start their automobile in the garage with the door closed?
If you answered YES to any
of the above questions, then you and your family are at
risk of suffocating to death by INVISIBLE and ODORLESS CARBON
MONOXIDE GAS!
What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide is a lethal
gas produced in normal amounts whenever you use an appliance
which burns a combustible fuel. Combustible fuels include
gas, oil, kerosene, charcoal and wood. When proper ventilation
of appliances becomes blocked, carbon monoxide concentrations
build up inside your home and become deadly.
Because carbon monoxide is
invisible, tasteless and odorless, its victims may never
know there is something wrong until it’s too late.
It often takes the lives of whole families. Children and
the elderly are the first to be overcome along with pets.
Over 2,500* people in the United States will die each year
of carbon monoxide poisoning and over 10,000 will be hospitalized.
Most victims who lose consciousness
may be left with permanent brain damage, mental and speech
disorders, vision and hearing impairments, seizures, coma
or death.
Why Should I Worry?
Carbon Monoxide quickly replaces
vital oxygen in the blood which results in suffocation from
the inside out. It could take as little as 3 minutes, depending
on the level of concentration. Since you cannot see, hear,
taste or smell carbon monoxide, the only way to protect
your family is to recognize the symptoms and install a carbon
monoxide detector.
Symptoms to watch for:
- headaches, drowsiness, dizzineess
an confusion
- nausea, vomiting and rapid
heartbeat
- unconsciousness, coma and
death
- everyone in the house is
feeling ill at the same time
- it feels as though you have
the flu Common Causes of In-Home Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
- Malfunctioning or improperly
vented heaters and furnaces
- Blocked passageways in chimneys
and flues
- Paint removers which contain
methylene chloride and which the body absorbs and converts
to carbon monoxide
- Depressurization in the
house (“backdraft”).
Understanding the
Meaning of CO Concentrations
- 9 ppm (0.0009%) Maximum
allowable concentration for short term exposure in a living
area
- 35 ppm (0.0035%) Maximum
allowable concentrations for continuous exposure in any
8-hour period
- 400 ppm (0.04%) Frontal
or slight headaches within 1-2 hours becoming life threatening
after 3 hours
- 800 ppm (0.08%) Dizziness,
nausea and convulsions within 45 minutes. Unconsciousness
within 2 hours. Death within 2-3 hours.
- 1600 ppm (0.16%) Headache,
dizziness and nausea within 20 minutes. Death within 1
hour.
- 3200 ppm (0.32%) Headache,
dizziness and nausea in 5-10 minutes. Death within 30
minutes.
- 6400 ppm (.64%) Headache,
dizziness and nausea 1-2 minutes. Death within 10-15 minutes.
12800 ppm (1.28%) Death within 1-3 minutes.
