Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, toxic gas that becomes deadly at higher levels. CO can be produced when incomplete and improper burning of fossil fuels occurs. Substances that we are around every day, such as gas and oil heating systems, gas, diesel and propane driven vehicles, floor polishers, forklifts, and generators, etc can produce harmful concentrations. ​Symptoms of CO poisoning include Respiratory problems, chronic heart disease, dizziness, vomiting, flu like symptoms, general weakness and confusion.

Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide or CO2 is a naturally occurring substance that exists as a gas at normal room temperatures. We exhale it when we breathe, and at various levels, it becomes toxic to the human body. It can have many consequences including:

• Increased rate of breathing

• A choking sensation

• Eventually unconsciousness

• Weakened powers of concentration

• Headaches

• Fatigue

What We Do To Counter CO and CO2 (Testing Services)

With respect to CO and CO2, we measure levels outside first before entering to determine if levels are too high. Additionally, our building pressure diagnostics can prevent generation and dispersion within a building. Using the proper equipment we can measure the exhausts of systems and reduce hazards by correcting the problem before it gets out of hand. Our equipment is able to detect CO and CO2 levels that are normally missed by home detectors.
