It makes no difference where you put the detector -- but not because carbon monoxide and air have approximately the same density. ... Carbon dioxide a heavier gas will collect on the floor building up and possibly preventing carbon monoxide from ever reaching the alarm if located at a floor outlet. That is why it is...

Any real-world consideration must take in to account the moisture in the air. Assuming 50% relative humidity at about 70 degrees F, the molecular weight of air would be about 28.01 which is almost exactly the same as the molecular weight of...

Hey,I was always led to believe that carbon monoxide settles because it is heavier than air.Another myth I was led to believe was that if your exhaust on your vehicle leaked, drive with the windows down because carbon mnoxide couldn't build up past the open windows.Is this a true fact?

A caller wanted to know whether to mount a carbon monoxide (CO) detector high, near the ceiling, or low, near the floor. He was confused because the instructions said to mount it high, but he thought that CO was heavier than air, and would thus tend to pool at low levels.

After many years of declining, the number of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning cases is on the rise. ... CO is heavier than air and will tend to collect in cabin spaces. That's why a boat prone to the station wagon effect, running along with the rear cabin door open may end up filling the cabin with exhaust fumes.
