It varies because it all depends on you and the volume (or space) in the room you are in. The symptoms will be visible in young children as they body's are smaller hence it takes less saturation to effect them or if you have a pet bird the bird will die or begin to fall of its perch. The symptoms are as follows light headedness, sleepy, head ache, dizziness, lethargy,feeling of vomiting and finding it hard to get up and move or disorientation. The problem is you can not see it or smell it and you feel sleepy and fall asleep and never wake up. 30,000ppm would be considered as a lethal dose and if you feel or suspect you have carbon monoxide in your house exit the house by the nearest exit and phone the emergency services intimidate and do not attempt to rescue a pet and if you have family who you can not wake open all windows and try and move them to a door or window that is open.
My advice to every one is to get a static carbon monoxide detector and a smoke alarm with a carbon monoxide detector on it. THIS COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE. Please don't mess around this gas it will kill you. Stay safe and take my advice I am a fireman and Ive seen my fair share of what this silent killer has done.

If carbon monoxide is heavier than oxygen then why install carbon monoxide detectors on ceilings?
Carbon monoxide is actually close to the same density of air. It is carbon dioxide that is denser than air.
Compounds found in the air?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Which is heavier carbon monoxide or oxygen?
Oxygen. Because , mass of carbon monoxide is 28, whereas that of oxygen is 32.
Is it bad if carbon monoxide is lighter than air?
No
Can central air cause carbon monoxide?
yes
If carbon monoxide is heavier than oxygen then why install carbon monoxide detectors on ceilings?
Carbon monoxide is actually close to the same density of air. It is carbon dioxide that is denser than air.
How much carbon monoxide does soda have?
Soda does not have any amounts of carbon monoxide. It has carbon dioxide dissolved in it, but no carbon monoxide.
Is carbon monoxide part of air?
no its not
Compounds found in the air?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Which is heavier carbon monoxide or oxygen?
Oxygen. Because , mass of carbon monoxide is 28, whereas that of oxygen is 32.
What do furnace filters filter out of the air that passes though them?
They filter carbon monoxide out of the air. Carbon Monoxide is a deadly gas, but it's invisible and doesn't have a smell. When too much of it gets in a room where it can't get away, you can die from it.
Can air conditioning contain carbon monoxide?
Only if the air it is circulating has carbon monoxide. Air conditioners do not produce nor do they contain carbon monoxide. If you suspect carbon monoxide in your air, you need to have an HVAC professional or your local gas company inspect your dwelling because another source is producing this deadly gas. Unmaintenanced heating systems are often the culprit.
Is air lighter than carbon monoxide?
CO is lighter than airAt 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm of pressure, carbon monoxide's density is 1.145kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.1839kg/m3. So carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air.
What the air is comprised of when you breath it in and out?
carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is found in?
it is found in air
Why do rooms with gas fires need fresh air?
Rooms with a gas fire place need fresh air because the gas and the fire put off too much carbon monoxide. The fresh air will keep you from getting carbon monoxide poisoning.
How much carbon monoxide is in the air in percentage?
It depends how much traffic is about. Carbon monoxide is not a naturally-occurring molecule, & is only produced by engines; once it gets into the atmosphere, the carbon satisfies its valency by pairing up with any stray atoms it can find, preferably oxygen.
