carbon monoxide detectors should be located in image
skahhh
Imagine you have gas appliances and an exotic cat that you do not bathe or wipe down and you have Stage IV breast cancer! How could someone convince you to change your behavior? Unless you think this is not destructive and then I have to wonder about you anyway, if you really care or not or just want to see others make mistakes til it kills them?

I am so sorry you are suffering the fear, pain and anguish of from your canceer and what sounds like a difficult relationship at home. I pray that you can find someone to confide your concerns, anger and fear to such as a minister at a local church, psychologist or social worker in your area. Your doctor may be able to provide references to someone that can provide mental health support or contact the American Cancer Association. They provide assistance to cancer patients.
Regarding the air circulation question, it would be better to have an air conditioning return register in the ceiling somewhat in the middle of the sleeping area, like in a hallway and cut the doors to have a 1" to 2" gap at the bottom. Place another return air register centrally located in the main living area or at the other end of the trailer, depending on the size of the trailer.
Gas water heaters and gas room heaters should have their own vents/flue. A Carbon Monoxide detector/alarm should be placed in the sleeping area and another in the main living area to detect if a gas flue is not functioning properly and allowing dangerous CO levels to build up.
I wish you peace and comfort and God's blessing in your life.

What are worries that people have about smoke alarms?
Q. I have to do a science project, and one of the questions that I have to answer is about worries that people have about smoke alarms. I can't really think of any reasons why people would be worried about them though :S
Would appreciate any answers ... Thanks :)

House fires may smolder (in a couch?) for hours before bursting into flame, and there may be as little as three minutes to safety evacuate once there is an open flame. A real concern should be whether smoke detector(s) are located in the correct places to give an early warning. A detector shoul be placed in the hall outside bedrooms (and the doors kept shut). A detector should also be placed in any bedroom where people smoke. Detectors chirp periodically when the battery needs to be replaced and there is a button that should be used to test that the (electronics) work (perhaps monthly). If a detector is energized by house current, there is a concern that a short circuit that causes a fire may open the circuit breaker that energizes the alarm. Many detectors that use a small amount of radioactive material to ionize air in the detector will alarm when there is a sudden change in room air (opening doors to the outside or cooking food in a kitchen) and an over-ride button will silence the false alarm until the air clears. Using a magazine, etc. to fan and clear a false alarm will help save the battery. Detectors usually come with clear installation instruction to avoid dead air spaces (too high or in corners, etc or too low to catch rising heat and smoke. Special detectors (rather than smoke detectors) must be used to detect carbon monoxide (especially if a fireplace is in use). Soot, etc. has fallen down chimneys blocking the flu and causing death by carbon monoxide. Some smoke detectors use a photoelectric cell to alarm if smoke blocks the light signal and ionized air type detectors should also be used to provide an earlier warning while the fire is still smoldering.
A general concern is that only one person will hear the alarm and must alert all others in the house who must follow a prior plan to escape (out windows using rope ladders, etc.) to avoid the flames. Everyone should meet at an assigned location so that no one races back inside to rescue someone who has already escaped.
