What Does CO Stand For?
CO stands for Carbon Monoxide
CO, or Carbon Monoxide, is a colorless, odorless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels. It is highly toxic and poses significant health risks, as it can interfere with the blood's ability to carry oxygen. Due to its potential for lethal exposure, CO is commonly monitored in residential and industrial settings to ensure safety and compliance with environmental regulations. Proper ventilation and the use of carbon monoxide detectors are essential for preventing poisoning and ensuring air quality.
