Fossil fuels contain high levels of carbon, and when they are burned in a process called incomplete combustion, the carbon reacts with oxygen in the air to form carbon monoxide gas. When a human comes into contact with too much carbon monoxide gas, otherwise referred to as [carbon monoxide poisoning](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/carbon-monoxide/symptoms-causes/syc-20370642), the symptoms can include the following: - Nausea or stomach pain - Blurry vision - Dizziness - Headache - Fainting **How Do Carbon Monoxide Detectors Work?** Carbon monoxide detectors use sensors to monitor the amount of toxic gas in the air. Carbon monoxide detectors can use different types of technology to identify noxious gas in the air inside of your home. **Electrochemical Sensors** The Cove carbon monoxide detector is an electrochemical sensor. An electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor uses the chemical properties of carbon monoxide to determine the concentration of the gas in the air. The chemical reaction creates an electrical output that is directly proportional to the amount of carbon monoxide in the air next to the sensor. ### What Should I Do If My Carbon Monoxide Alarm Goes Off? If the [carbon monoxide detector in your home goes off](/content/blog/carbon-monoxide-alarm-beeping-here-s-what-to-do/index.html), gather everyone (including pets) and evacuate immediately. Call 911 and do not re-enter the home until it has been deemed safe by emergency personnel. Stay safe and exit at the first sign of a leak. **Where Should I Place My Carbon Monoxide Detectors?** Smart carbon monoxide detectors should be placed in all the same spots that traditional CO detectors go. Carbon monoxide detectors should be located: - Every level of your home, including the basement - Outside of each bedroom - Near the kitchen - Near the bathroom - Every 1,200 square feet - Far enough away from vents and fans that the heat from these appliances won't cause a false alarm - In a place where it won’t get knocked over If you have any questions about where to place carbon monoxide detectors inside of your own home, contact your local fire prevention officers.
