Explanation:

There are several ways to protect your family from carbon monoxide poisoning. First, we have to know what can cause having carbon monoxide inside a home. Gas fires, central heating systems, cookers, and every device that uses gas. It's important to know that carbon monoxide cannot be easily detected, so we cannot even tell if we are breathing it, that's a reason why air ventilation system is not a way to protect the family.

Actually, the best way to have protection against carbon monoxide poisoning is to install CO alarms all over the house, this way, people will be able to know when they are breathing this gas, avoiding poisoning.

In fact, CO gas is dangerous because of that specific characteristic, not having a smell, or visual feature, it's practically invisible. The main effect of CO inhalation is the lack of oxygen in our body, because CO gas takes the place of oxygen inside our body.
