If inhaled it will displace oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule in our blood and lead to severe disability or even death. It is one of the &#8216;criteria&#8217; pollutants measured in ambient air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where does it come from?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outdoor Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/information\/carbon_monoxide\">Carbon monoxide<\/a> is found naturally at low concentrations in the atmosphere from volcanic activity and forest fires. CO is produced from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds in situations where there is not enough oxygen present to produce carbon dioxide. The main source of outdoor CO is combustion processes from transportation and industrial activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malfunctioning fuel burning appliances such as furnaces, cookers, water boilers and gas room heaters can all lead to carbon monoxide leaks in areas occupied by people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industrial Uses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/information\/carbon_monoxide\">Carbon monoxide<\/a> is very important in industry since it is a precursor to a number of important organic chemicals. CO gas has various niche applications in the chemical, food, medical, and semiconductor industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we measure it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/portable-monitors.html?gas=274&amp;manufacturer=28\">portable monitor line<\/a> we measure carbon monoxide using either a gas sensitive semiconductor (GSS) sensor or a gas sensitive electrochemical (GSE) sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/replacement-sensors.html?gas=274&amp;manufacturer=28\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/8cb036de7d79f7344ea1eefb15534e25\/c\/o\/co-0-25ppm_1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like all sensors in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/portable-monitors.html?gas=274&amp;manufacturer=28\">portable monitor<\/a> line the sensor benefits from active fan sampling and comes factory calibrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/portable-monitors.html?gas=274&amp;manufacturer=28\">Aeroqual Gas Detection Monitors<\/a> can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/\">Gas Sensings website<\/a>, using the links below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/portable-monitors\/aeroqual-series-200.html#960=\">Series 200<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/portable-monitors\/aeroqual-series-300.html#960=\">Series 300<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/portable-monitors\/aeroqual-series-500.html#960=\">Series 500<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gas-sensing.com\/replacement-sensors.html?gas=274&amp;monitor=404\">Aeroqual Carbon Monoxide Sensors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why measure it?
