Carbon monoxide levels can rise inside a house if a faulty heating system, fixed or portable, is present. A carbon monoxide detector can be purchased to provide protection. If true intoxication does occur, this is a medical emergency and must be handled immediately to prevent catastrophic consequences. The detector is well worth the cost.
