Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. It is produced by the incomplete burning of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Appliances fueled with natural gas, liquefied petroleum (LP), oil, kerosene, coal, or wood may produce carbon monoxide. Burning charcoal and running vehicles also produce carbon monoxide.
