Carbon monoxide, often referred to as a "silent killer," is highly toxic and potentially deadly in certain concentrations. It poses significant health risks, including illness, hospitalization, and even death. Due to its lack of odor and color, carbon monoxide can go unnoticed, affecting individuals unexpectedly, particularly during sleep or intoxication.
