Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of gas poisoning deaths in the United States. Many of these deaths as well as many cases of illness and brain damage could be prevented if all residences had carbon monoxide detectors. For features to consider when selecting a detector plus information regarding correct use in the home, see the publication, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Selecting a Carbon Monoxide Detector, http://www3.abe.iastate.edu/human_house/aen168.asp
