Question: Is it bad that my carbon monoxide detector is up high!?
My friend just pointed out to me that if my carbon monoxide detector ever went off, I would probably be dead by that point because it is right beneath the ceiling!. He said it should be near the floor because then it will detect the carbon monoxide right away!. I never really thought about it cause it was in that spot when I moved into my apartment so I figured it was normal to be there!. What do you guys think!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
hey i looked it up on line and the majority of responses say to place them close to the ceiling because the carbon monoxide will rise with warm air and if it is to low to the floor it will not be detected but there are also wall adapter ones that are lower to the ground!. so i think we are ok!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well!.!.!.
Gases like that are heavier than air and tend to cling to the floor so it is a wise decision of your friend to tell you that you should put the detector by the floor and your friend is right, if the carbon monoxide detector does go off and it's right next to the ceiling, you'd already be dead from the monoxide poisoning!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
