What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide, more commonly referred to as CO, is a highly toxic gas, produced by devices that burn fuels – often found in our everyday lives.  

Learn more about carbon monoxide, its sources, and the signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Prevention

Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. It can't be seen, smelled, or heard, but poisoning can be avoided. Learn what to do if you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, who is at a higher risk for poisoning, and what types of treatments you can expect.
