Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CO poisoning causes more than 400 deaths and 20,000 emergency department visits in the U.S. annually.
CO is often called the “silent killer” because it is odorless, colorless and tasteless. The only safe way to detect it in your home is with a working carbon monoxide alarm.
