Any doctors out there ? do i need test if carbon monoxide alarm went off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If a carbon monoxide alarm is going off and suggests a high level you should not stay in your home. Even lower levels are toxic over time. With very high levels call 911. If you rent, immediately call your landlord or building manager. If you own your home, call a heating contractor to test for carbon monoxide and fix your appliance (e.g., stove, furnace, room heater, water heater, etc.).
