Carbon monoxide is a lethal gas that can kill quickly. Unfortunately, it is odorless and colorless, making it difficult to detect if something unexpected happens. Carbon monoxide gas is produced when fuel is burned, so almost any gas or fuel-burning vehicle or appliance could become very dangerous.
Some of the most common carbon monoxide producers include:
- Cars and motor vehicles

- Generators
- Charcoal and fireplaces
Generally, these vehicles and appliances are safe to use if you are using and maintaining them properly. Following product, safety instructions can help protect you and others from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. You can also install carbon monoxide detectors to prevent a potential tragedy.
