No. That's what makes carbon dioxide so dangerous: you can't see, smell, or feel it.

Does carbon monoxide smell like burn plastic?
Carbon Monoxide is a dangerous gas, so I am assuming it smells very bad. I have never smelled it, however, or I would be dead!
Why does carbon monoxide burn and carbon dioxide does not?
Carbon monoxide binds very tightly to heme; carbon dioxide does not. Carbon dioxide is not poisonous per se, but it's not harmless either; concentrations of carbon dioxide above 20% or so are pretty bad for you even if there's also plenty of oxygen to breathe.
Why is it dangerous to burn carbon-based fuel in a closed space?
With adequate oxygen, carbon dioxide will be formed, but in a closed space as the oxygen is depleted carbon monoxide will form which is highly poisonous
What products are made when hydrocarbons burn?
The burning of hydrocarbons causes the formation of water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Often, other byproducts such as formaldehyde (HCOH) and carbon monoxide (CO) are formed due to non-stoechiometric conditions.
What happens when iron oxide is heated with carbon?
when carbon is heated.The particles gain energy as carbon is a gas.The atoms will vibrate more faster and will move further away.
Does carbon monoxide burn?
Yes, carbon monoxide burns with a blue flame, producing carbon dioxide.
Does carbon monoxide burn your eyes?
No. The first symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are dizziness and headache.
Mention facts about Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It is important to properly vent appliances that burn fuel in order to keep carbon monoxide from building up. Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause dizziness, sleepiness, headaches, blurred vision, and other flu-like symptoms.
How is carbon monoxide formed when hydrocarbons burn?
with CO2
Which of these is an odorless colorless gas that forms when the carbon in fuels does not burn completely?
Carbon monoxide or CO
Where is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is not created by incomplete combustion. Almost all fuel burning appliances and fires do not burn at 100% efficiency. So some carbon monoxide gas is created. The amount produced is usually not a problem if the appliances are working as designed and venting properly. However, there are many circumstances that can cause carbon monoxide levels to rise. http://www.carbon-monoxide-Survivor.com/carbon-monoxide-sources-where-it-comes-from.html

What pollutants form when fossil fuels burn?
Methane, Carbon dioxide and Carbon monoxide
What plastic can give off carbon monoxide when burned?
All plastics give of carbon monoxide when burned, the amount of carbon monoxide depends on what type of plastic is being burned, so don't burn plastic cause too much carbon monoxide is bad for all life on earth and the ozone! :)
What compound is formed when carbon burn in air?
Carbon Dioxide and a very tiny bit of Carbon Monoxide
Do lighters cause carbon monoxide?
Yes, most liquid petrol lighter burn ineffectively (with yellow flame)and carbon monoxide is one of the unwanted byproducts. Gas-filled lighter are better, more completely burning with a blue flame
What odorless colorless gas that forms when the carbon in fuels does not burn completely?
CO (carbon monoxide).
