ABSTRACT
The problem of carbon monoxide (CO) production within habitable enclosures (i.e., breathing spaces) has been a chronic problem since the use of hydrocarbon fuels became widespread. We know that CO generation from these fuel sources is commonly caused by the lack of, or starvation of, adequate oxygen during the combustion process whether in a heating appliance, engine, or lighting fixture. The creation of CO becomes a problem when it enters an occupied space used by living creatures, either by accident or by design.
