Smoke Alarm Test & Level Monitoring
**********************************************************************************
Relevant Background: "A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. Commercial security devices issue a signal to a fire alarm control panel as part of a fire alarm system, while household smoke detectors, also known as smoke alarms, generally issue a local audible or visual alarm from the detector itself or several detectors if there are multiple smoke detectors interlinked...Smoke detectors in large commercial, industrial, and residential buildings are usually powered by a central fire alarm system, which is powered by the building power with a battery backup. Domestic smoke detectors range from individual battery-powered units, to several interlinked mains-powered units with battery backup; with these interlinked units, if any unit detects smoke, all trigger even if household power has gone out..."

Relevant Material: "Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas emitted into the atmosphere primarily from incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels such as gasoline, oil and wood....Natural and human sources of carbon monoxide include burning of vegetation such as forest fires and wildfires, and emissions from vehicles...Environment Canada's guidelines for ambient air are:
1–hour average of 13 ppm
24–hour average of 5 ppm ("Carbon Monoxide", https://www.wcas.ca/monitoring/CO.php#:~:text=Currently%20there%20are%20no%20Alberta,hour%20average%20of%205%20ppm)

Relevant Statistics: " The worldwide cumulative incidence and mortality of CO poisoning are currently estimated at 137 cases and 4.6 deaths per million, respectively..."
