Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the leading causes of death from accidental poisoning, this gas is odorless, invisible and does not irritate the eyes, so it is totally “invisible” to us. These types of gases are emitted by devices that perform poor combustion, either because they are improperly installed or are not working properly, nor have they been serviced. If your home has combustion appliances such as a gas stove or boiler, having one of these devices can save your life. It is recommended to install one device in every room where there is a combustion appliance such as a boiler, fireplace or stove.
