Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible oderless gas created when fuels, such as wood, natural gas, gasoline, propane and others, burn incompletely. In high concentrations, CO can be an acute health problem resulting in death. In lower concentrations, CO can be lead to chronic health issues such as headaches, fatigue, nausea, dizzyness, and other issues. CO alarms have been available for many years, but new state rules aer going to require them in almost all homes within the next year.
Beginning on April 1, 2011, carbon monoxide detectors (CO) will be required in all new construction and remodeling that requires a building permit. In addition, real estate transactions of one- and two-family dwellings, manufactured homes, and multifamily housing will require at least one working CO alarms before conveying fee title or transferring possession of a dwelling. Landlords will also be required to provide properly functioning CO alarms for all dwelling units with, or within a structure containing a CO source. More information about these rules can be found online at CO Statutes.
