" Thank you for sharing .. I am happy that our apt building does provide this protection .. each apt had a co2 detector and smoke alarms. Until recently a new system was installed so do not need the individual co2 detector. Once a year the apt building is inspected by the fire department for hazards so that is good too.

Radon is another problem although it is in the ground naturally it can be handled to make it safer as I read.

" Thank You for posting.

Alot of people think of CARBON MONOXIDE with gas heating or gas ovens. This can also happen with oil heat and wood stoves. We have Monitors in several rooms for this reason we use oil and wood. "
