Olick, M. Carbon Monoxide: The Silent Killer. Security News. December,
1994. p. 2+
Abstract: The newspaper article describes how carbon monoxide
is produced, how it affects the body, and why there is a need for carbon
monoxide detectors. The article then discusses the technology and standards
of CO detectors. The two reliable standards are UL, which signals if CO
reaches 100 ppm over 90 minutes, and OSHA, which signals if CO reaches a
level of 200 ppm over 15 minutes. The article also includes information
about where a CO detector should be placed and more importantly where they
should not be placed.
