Q I have recently bought some carbon monoxide detectors but have found their instructions a little confusing, please would you clarify the detection process.
A The carbon monoxide detector works such that in the presence of carbon monoxide gas the sensitised spot in the centre will darken & blacken drastically. During the six-month life of the detectors they will discolour slightly in the presence of cigarette smoke, aerosol sprays and cleaners especially when used in a bathroom or exposed to other heat sources.
