Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odourless, deadly gas. Because you can't see, taste or smell it, carbon monoxide can kill you before you know it's there. Today's energy-efficient airtight homes contribute to the problem by trapping CO-polluted air inside the home. When CO is breathed in through the lungs, it bonds with the haemoglobin in the blood, producing a toxic compound called carbohaemoglobin (COHb). COHb produces flu-like symptoms including headaches, fatigue, nausea and dizzy spells. As levels of COHb rise, victims suffer vomiting, loss of consciousness and eventually brain damage and could lead to death.
