Just a quickie, CO gas/poisoning, does this only emanate from gas appliances, oil heaters, that sort of thing where flues are poorly routed or blocked etc?
Quick response would be appreciated
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phillipe,
CO is generated from the combuistion of carbon containing compounds i.e. all organic fuels. If flues used in burning equipment are blocked this may cause CO to enter the home/workplace.
However, it is also heavily used in the chemical industry so employees would be potentialy exposed in these circumstances.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Neil

I work on a steel plant and in certain areas everyone must wear a personal CO2 monitor.

Thanks, I have arranged for the appliance to be checked and all gas fired heaters on the premises to be checked also.
Cheers
