Which gas is known as the “silent killer”?  Yes, it is carbon monoxide.  Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless, colorless gas that can prevent the body from properly transporting oxygen.  Poisoning can happen gradually if the toxic levels build up slowly, or if it is inhaled in high concentrations, CO poisoning can happen quickly. 

The mainstream advice we receive primarily covers how to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning in our homes to protect our families.  Carbon monoxide poisoning is not just residential concern.  Carbon monoxide doesn’t discriminate between residential and commercial occupants, and unfortunately, we don’t often hear about the approaches available in measuring, reporting and preventing dangerous levels of CO in commercial buildings.

It goes without saying that providing building occupants with a safe environment is a top priority for building owners and facility managers.  Ensuring they provide a comfortable and healthy indoor environment is not their only concern.  Parking garages, maintenance facilities, and loading docks are some of the most common focus areas when addressing spaces where CO levels can rise to toxic levels.
