Does a carbon monoxide monitor detect carbon dioxide?
Detectors for carbon monoxide will not pick up freon. They can't "see" this refrigerant gas and won't work in that application. Leak (freon) detectors for the HVAC trade are priced fairly appropriately. Look for a used unit on eBay or craigslist, or run a want ad.
Where in my basement should I install carbon monoxide detectors?
A carbon monoxide detector in a basement should be installed away from your furnace and water heater. Both of these put off a small amount of CO in regular use and may create false alarms. More importantly, you should have these detectors installed in your living areas, such as hallways and bedrooms where an alarm will be legitimate and heard.

What is hazardous commodity description?
When they say "hazardous commodity" they're usually talking about hazardous materials in bulk. The first thing that comes to my mind is carbon monoxide in a tube trailer. Most people think, "carbon monoxide? Why would you want THAT?" Carbon monoxide has a lot of uses in the chemical industry, and it's a good fuel...so there's a lot of carbon monoxide going down the roads in trailers. The problem with it is, it's highly flammable and very toxic to boot. It is therefore a Hazardous Material, and in trade it is a Hazardous Commodity. OTOH, if you were to put carbon monoxide in cylinders and put the cylinders in a truck, it becomes a hazardous packaged good.
