Why electrostatic precipitator field tripping related with carbon monoxide analyser?
Besides the toxic effects of carbon monoxide, the gas is very flammable and high concentrations may be explosive...Imagine this at high concentration of CO combined with a spark inside the ESP....
What does 24 mean on Nighthawk carbon monoxide detector?

What would happen if carbon monoxide was in the air?
Carbon monoxide mixes with air and is an extremely dangerous gas when highly concentrated in an enclosed space. A high concentration of carbon monoxide in inhaled air prevents the lungs of people and animals from transferring oxygen to the blood, and death may occur. For this reason, carbon dioxide detectors are recommended in closed buildings having gas or wood burning heating and cooking systems. Incomplete combustion may take place in gas and wood stoves, furnaces, or fireplaces. Carbon monoxide detectors provide a warning to people if carbon monoxide gas concentration becomes dangerously high in the air they breathe. carbon monoxide (co) when inhaled mixes with haemoglobin to become a dangerous compound when it reaches the heart.

Is there a correlation between carbon monoxide and the level of traffic?
Carbon Monoxide levels increase with the no as well as the concentration of vehicles. Hence, CO levels are found to be higher at traffic signals.
