Make Carbon Monoxide Alarms a Legal Requirement in Every Household
Carbon monoxide is often called the “silent killer” because you cannot see it, smell it, or taste it. It creeps into homes and takes lives without warning. In the UK, dozens of people die every year and thousands are treated in hospital because of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s time for change.
