Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas produced by combustion processes, such as burning gas, wood, oil, or coal. It is colorless and odorless, making it imperceptible to human senses. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can vary and may worsen in enclosed spaces but improve once away from the affected area.
