Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas produced by incomplete burning of any fuel. When inhaled, CO displaces oxygen in the victims' blood, resulting in serious illness, even death. Since CO is completely invisible, colorless, odorless, and tasteless, many people have no idea that they are being poisoned until it is too late. For this reason, CO is often called "The Silent Killer".
