The CO Detector Safety Gap
🚨Your UL‑listed carbon monoxide alarm is designed to stay silent at levels that can still harm you.
---
🔒 The UL Standard Detector
• Must ignore levels below 30 ppm
• Cannot alarm below 70 ppm
• Only sounds after hours of high exposure
---
⚠️ The False Sense of Security
• You think “no alarm = safe air.”
• In reality, low-level CO (20–60 ppm) can cause headaches, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms.
• Vulnerable groups—children, elderly, pregnant individuals—are at serious risk.
---
🔔 What Your Alarm Really Is
• An alert for extreme danger only
• Not a health monitor for chronic exposure.
---
✅ Close the Gap
• Install a Low-Level CO Monitor.
• Get early warnings before symptoms start.
