Carbon monoxide testing is a process of measuring the levels of carbon monoxide (CO) gas in a particular environment. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is produced by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as gas, oil, coal, and wood. It is highly toxic and can be lethal in high concentrations.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors: These are devices specifically designed to detect and alert occupants about the presence of carbon monoxide. They are similar to smoke detectors and can be battery-operated or hardwired into the building's electrical system.
Portable Carbon Monoxide Meters: These handheld devices are used to measure carbon monoxide levels in specific areas. They typically display the concentration of CO in parts per million (ppm) and can be useful for identifying sources of carbon monoxide, such as malfunctioning appliances or poor ventilation.
