{"product_id":"asa-carbon-monoxide-detector","title":"ASA Carbon Monoxide Detector","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarbon Monoxide (CO) is a toxic, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of gasoline, kerosene, natural gas, butane, propane, fuel oil, wood, coal, and other fossil fuels. Dangerous levels of CO can be produced by internal combustion engines or from any poorly vented or improperly adjusted fuel-burning appliance. Exposure to CO may cause sickness, headaches, or even death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Carbon Monoxide Detector can save a pilot's life, especially when flying with the heater on, by warning of the presence of CO in the cockpit. The spot will turn grey\/black when CO is in the air. The spot on the detector returns to normal colour after it is exposed to fresh air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use this CO-DETECTOR as your personal and portable CO detection device. With the adhesive back, stick it on the panel or dash for a semi-permanent installation, or wear it on an ID badge or on a lanyard. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUses include: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Aeroplanes\u003cbr\u003e Cars\u003cbr\u003e Fuel Trucks\u003cbr\u003e Grass Cutting Equipment\u003cbr\u003e Tugs\u003cbr\u003e Campers\u003cbr\u003e And More!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUseful life is 12 months once opened.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese simple detectors are pieces of cardboard with a small orange-colored circle in the middle. If there is a high-level of carbon monoxide in the vicinity, the circle changes color from orange to black. This happens as a direct result of chemistry. The detector circle is gritty and sand-like; it is silica gel impregnated with a catalyst made from chemicals that include palladium and molybdenum salts (such as palladium sulfate and ammonium molybdenate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen carbon monoxide touches the detector, it's oxidized by the chemical salts on the strip and turns into carbon dioxide. The chemicals on the strip are simultaneously reduced and change color to black. The strip also contains a chemical salt made from a transition metal such as iron, nickel or copper. Once the carbon monoxide is removed, this metal salt steals some oxygen from the air and changes the catalyst back to its original chemical form—so the detector spot changes color back to orange again. In other words, the catalyst regenerates itself in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advantage of simple detectors like this is that they cost only a few dollars each, so they're a good way to give yourself basic protection. The disadvantage is that these detectors don't sound an alarm: you have to keep looking at them to notice that the color has changed. These strip detectors have to be replaced every 3-6 months depending on the environment you’re using them in; an expiration date is on every package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specificationsTable\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.05 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUPC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e855734008668\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eShelf Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe expiration dates are printed on the package.
