Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can cause serious health problems and death. Carbon monoxide, often referred to as CO, its chemical formula, is produced when any sort of fuel is burned. For example, carbon monoxide is produced when:

1. Gasoline is burned in a car, boat or truck engine;
2. Gasoline is burned in a small engine, like those in lawn care equipment;
3. Natural gas is burned to provide heat to a home, workplace or other premises;
4. Natural gas is burned to heat a boiler or smaller home water heater; and
5. Natural gas is burned to heat a stove or oven in a home.

HVAC systems and boiler systems are designed to provide proper ventilation of carbon monoxide when providing heat or hot water to a building. However, sometimes these ventilation systems do not work properly and result in a carbon monoxide leak. Some causes of carbon monoxide leaks include:

1. Improper installation of equipment resulting in poor ventilation of fumes;
2. Improper maintenance of HVAC or boiler systems resulting in a blockage of the ventilation system; or
3. Improper maintenance of HVAC or boiler systems resulting in unnoticed or unattended damage to the ventilation system.

Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of the carbon monoxide-producing systems on their properties. This includes landlords, business-owners and homeowners. Carbon monoxide leaks can occur at homes, apartment buildings, places of work and anywhere a carbon monoxide-producing system is used.

Please note: In workplaces likes garages and marinas where car or boat engines might be running indoors, employers are required to provide spaces with proper ventilation. Improper ventilation can lead to a build up of carbon monoxide that could be harmful to workers. Please see the OSHA guidelines on carbon monoxide for more information.
