Carbon Monoxide is found in boilers, it is a clear, odour free gas and if your boiler is broken the Carbon Monoxide can leak out and cause death.
Added:
Carbon monoxide ( CO ) comes from incomplete burning of fuels like gas, oil, carbon and wood, by lack of oxygen for the complete reaction to Carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) and water. (So, not only from 'broken'(?) boilers, as said above)
It is an odourless and colourless gas and very, very toxic! (some mg per cubic metre air)
It prevents oxygen to be 'adsorbed' on the haemoglobin molecule in your blood, so only immediate inhalation of free oxygen may get you 'back' from a beginning unconsciousness.

Do house plants release carbon monoxide at night and is harmful?
No, fool.
Does charcoal contain carbon monoxide?
It does not contain carbon monoxide, but it will likely produce carbon monoxide when burned.
Is carbon monoxide c02?
no that is carbon dioxide,carbon monoxide is CO
What is the chemical formula for the Carbon monoxide (covalent)?
The chemical formula for the carbon monoxide is CO.
Carbon monoxide formula?
CO is the formula for carbon monoxide :)
What might produce carbon monoxide in a house?
Carbon monoxide is obtained from a not complete burning.
Why is it difficult to detect carbon monoxide?
carbon monoxide is invisibe to the human eye and has no scent. by the time you realse it it in your house...its too late so install a carbon monoxide detector!
Can carbon monoxide get into a house from a car running in a closed garage?
Yes. Carbon monoxide can get into the living area through the tiniest cracks and gaps that are present in any house.
Can noxious fumes be emitted from furnace?
YES from the exhaust gas. If the exhaust flue has a leak or the heat exchanger has a leak into the house air Carbon Monoxide can build up in the heated house air and kill anyone in the house. The major problem is a person can not smell carbon monoxide. If you are getting frequent headaches have a heating contractor check your house air for carbon monoxide or buy a carbon monoxide detector at a hardware store and test your air yourself.
Do house plants release carbon monoxide at night and is harmful?
No, fool.
What is the purpose of carbon monoxide gas detectors?
The purpose of carbon monoxide gas detectors is to alert individuals to the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the air. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can be toxic and even fatal in high concentrations. These detectors are important for detecting and preventing carbon monoxide poisoning and can potentially save lives by triggering an alarm when CO levels are dangerous.
Why was the carbon monoxide detector invented?
Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless, and tasteless; undetectable by any human sense. It is also deadly and it can easily form inside a house. The only way to warn people of the danger is though a carbon monoxide detector.
When you exhale do you breathe out carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
of course we breathe out carbon dioxide not carbon monoxide
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.
Does charcoal contain carbon monoxide?
It does not contain carbon monoxide, but it will likely produce carbon monoxide when burned.
Is carbon monoxide c02?
no that is carbon dioxide,carbon monoxide is CO
Is CO is an example of green house gases?
No, carbon monoxide is a pollutant and poisonous, but is not a green house gas.
