However, faulty appliances that have leaks or are in small, stuffy spaces can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. This means that too much of the poisonous gas has been breathed in. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be extremely dangerous.
House and office appliances aren't the only way that carbon monoxide escapes into the air. When cars, trucks, buses and other vehicles burn gasoline, carbon monoxide is created. Also, factories and nature events, like wildfires, add CO to the air. Whatever the source, organizations worldwide are working to keep the air clean and safe to breathe.
