Propane Gas Accident FAQs
Is there any way to test for carbon monoxide in my home?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas which is highly toxic and undetectable. This inability to detect the presence of carbon monoxide is what makes the gas so dangerous and even lethal. Over 200 people die every year from carbon monoxide poisoning. Typically, it is emitted from certain household appliances such as fireplaces, furnaces, heaters, ovens and stoves. The only way that you can ensure that you and your family are protected against carbon monoxide poisoning is to test for it.
Fortunately, you can test for the presence of carbon monoxide gas in the home for as little as $5. The easiest way to test for carbon monoxide in your home is by going to your local building supply or hardware store and purchasing what is called a “passive” CO test kit. These are also referred to as carbon monoxide test badges.
