I just came here, looking for emergency advice because my CO detector is beeping.

I made the suggestion about not needing them on the ceiling into a stern warning. If you install them on the ceiling (unless they're specifically designed for it - most aren't) it could be deadly. = incorrect Carbon monoxide is not heavier than air - in fact it is slightly lighter as CO has the RMM of 28 whereas air is slightly more than this. It is therefore almost neutral density. However in a normal room, thermal convection current dominate transport of gases in a room. The ceiling is a relatively good place to have a CO detector as long as air flow from convectional currents in not affected and any boundary layer is overcome.
A ceiling mounted CO detector would have to be very sensitive in relation to a normal "near the floor" detector. NOT TRUE Does anyone have any examples? I've never even heard of a ceiling CO detector. Fracture Talk 06:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC). The reason why many CO detectors are not ceiling mounted is because semiconductor devices require mains power and therefore they need to be connected to a mains outlet and these are normally near the floor.
I'm confused--the article on carbon monoxide says it's lighter than air! -- Matt McIrvin 08:06, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
It should also be remembered that for a nearly neutral density gas such as carbon monoxide, in most normal rooms thermally induced air currents will be the dominant factor in the distribution of gas around the room. Although gas diffusion is a factor for the distribution of carbon monoxide, thermal air currents normally dominate. The positioning of the carbon monoxide detector should therefore reflect this. -(someone wrote sometime)
Although it is better to install the detector high rather than low, the most important thing is to not install it in a "corner", where the air might not circulate adequately. Also, the detector should be installed between the most likely sources of CO (a furnace) and the sleeping area, so that it will warn sleeping people, and wake them up. - 69.87.202.65 16:42, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Carbon monoxide weighs about 97% that of air, thus will eventually "float". However, almost all household alarms (the "detector" is but a component inside the alarm) use an accumulated effect for their detection and warning as CO at low levels over a long time is as dangerous as higher levels in just minutes. The proper location is in the open air (away from corners and furniture) but also away from doors to outside, windows, bathrooms and kitchens. High or low is not relevant except for digital units which should be at eye level for ease of reading. As well, the lifespan of alarms is based on the specific manufacturer's technology to maintain a certain level of calibration, thus most alarms have a 5 year life with a current maximum of 7 years for CO alarms (although 10 years is coming soon in Canada).

This very impressive website not only reviews CO detectors, it has a serious, considered overview-review of reviews, Updated July 2007: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/house_and_home/carbon-monoxide-detectors/index.html If you are feeling brave, please try to add it to the article.- 69.87.199.142 23:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Testing A Carbon Monoxide Detector
Most CO detectors have a test button that should be pressed once a week to confirm that the device is in operation. Detectors with displays can be tested with a known source of CO such as smoke from a cigarette or incense stick. Hold the CO source about 8-10 inches away and watch the digital display respond to the presence of even a small amount of CO. BUT an alarm will most likely not sound with this test.
There are CO detector test kits available, where CO detectors are sold, that provide a vial of high level of CO (1000 ppm) and a plastic tent to house the unit during the test. This test only proves that your detector will sound an alarm with a very high level of CO. [1] - 69.87.199.142 01:17, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Changes In Test Standards
The standards organizations of Canada (CSA) and the United States (Underwriter's Laboratory or UL) have co-ordinated the writing of CO standards and product testing. The standards as of 2005 prohibit showing CO levels of less than 30 ppm on digital displays. The new standards also require the alarm to sound at higher levels of CO than with previous editions of the standard.The reasoning behind these changes is to reduce calls to fire stations, utilities and emergency response teams when the levels of CO are not life-threatening.This change will also reduce the number of calls to these agencies due to detector inaccuracy or the presence of other gases. Consequently, new alarms will not sound at CO concentrations up to 70 ppm. Note that these concentrations are significantly in excess of the Canadian health guidelines.
Detectors with a digital display and a history option can provide the true CO concentrations in a house. A low-level display would be useful for people with existing respiratory problems or for those who like to spot evolving problems, rather than having to wait for the situation to become serious. Low-level CO detection products are becoming commercially available. They will not be certified to CSA or UL standards, as these standards currently prohibit low level displays. [2] - 69.87.199.142 01:34, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Early designs were basically a white or beige element which would fade to a brownish or blackish color if carbon monoxide were present. As carbon monoxide related deaths rose during the 1990s, audible alarms became the norm. (Simple, reversible-color visual detectors are still available in 2007. [3])
It seems relevant to mention that the main makers of domestic detectors for the US market seem to be Kidde (brand Nighthawk) and First Alert. But I don't know if or how it might be proper to add this info to the article. - 69.87.199.132 16:40, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
This is a good assortment of industrial equipment: [4] which generally costs $100-500 -- and is only good for a few years. - 69.87.199.132 23:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
"The test button on a CO alarm only tests the battery and circuitry not the sensor"
Not True! the two main standards for these detactors in Euroipe and North America, EN50291 and UL, both make testing of the sensor for open circuit or short circuit faults mandatory. Ther test button will not ensure hat the sensor accurately detects CO (the only way to do this is by using a test gas, of course), but it will pick up 95% of sensor faults, if the detector is approved to one of these standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.90.136 ( talk) 13:11, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
I just discovered that my carbon monoxide detector has an "end of life" beeping mode, which sounds just the same as it's low battery warning mode. This raises the issue of disposal which is apparently subject to local code, likely a worthy topic to aid people in making the right choice on how to dispose of their "expired" detectors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.66.83.101 ( talk) 21:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Currently there are few locations that require recycling nor are capable of it. As of May 2012, British-Columbia has a recylcing program but in the rest of Canada, only regular household garbage can handle them. That includes smoke?CO alarms with the ionization which contains Americium241. --- Comirelo

So far, my (admittedly limited) ransacking of the web hasn't turned up anyone even ASKING the most important question, let alone answering same:
Here and now, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, is 7 measly years REALLY as good as this technology can get?
As an electronics technician for many decades, I'm a little skeptical any time industrialists claim an alleged "need" to periodically replace somewhat-expensive items that don't seem like they should even HAVE a "decay rate" - always reminds me of John Lovetts' "Pathological Liar" character from SNL - "Yeah! You, uh, have to replace 'em, yeah, um, every few years, because, er, uh, that's the best we can do right now! Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!"
I'm invariably left wondering: are manufacturers REALLY providing technology which "goes the limit" of what is ACTUALLY, practically "do-able" at this point in history, or have they simply "pulled-back" their research to a level which assures, NOT the optimum protection of my family, property, wallet, etc., but, rather the optimum protection of their continuing profit margin, through an ongoing form of CONSUMER FRAUD known as "Deliberate Obsolescence"? (...NOT "Planned Obsolescence", mind you - that's a whole different animal, and a perfectly valid industrial concept. "Deliberate Obsolescence", on the other hand, is the malicious manufacture of "Landfill By Design": technology which flagrantly WASTES raw materials, energy, time, etc., and UNNECESSARILY destroys itself, just a little bit, every time you use it and/or every minute of every day, so that you have no choice but to give them "mo'money, mo'money, mo'money" nearly every time you turn around.)
Has anyone seen a salient, believable answer to this point?
The Doctor Is On ( talk) 21:08, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Limited lifetime of CO sensors seems technologically plausible to me, so far. Considering a reaction-with-metal, color-changing sensor. If it reacts with CO, it will probably react with S, CN, or CNS _irreversibly_. Then ambient concentrations of those will degrade the sensor over time. The electrochemical cell I just found in my self-deactivated detector looks like it has a getter-chemical packet taped over its aperture. This is a consumable; and when depleted the cell can then start to degrade. The only near-permanent technology I can think of would be a 5-micron mid-IR laser with a resonant gas cell, stimulating faint acoustic resonance to be detected by microphone. Too expensive and too big for consumer alarms. Better sensing techniques may well turn up, but I'm not surprized they are not here yet. jimswen ( talk) 23:26, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

"Smaller concentrations can be harmful over longer periods of time while increasing concentrations require diminishing exposure times to be harmful."
Shouldn't this read either:
1. Smaller concentrations can be harmful over longer periods of time while increasing concentrations are harmful over diminishing exposure times.
or
2. Smaller concentrations can be harmful over longer periods of time while increasing concentrations require diminishing exposure times to be safe.
As written it doesn't seem to make sense. -- Jack6128 ( talk) 21:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
