Well that's 1 bad answer...
Answer
Not for the amounts which could cause you serious harm. Other than having a canary (or any small bird) who live within the space where leaks could occur, you have no natural resource for detection.
In the old days, minors would use caged birds to detect gasses which could harm them. If the bird falls over or dies, they would run!
Detectors are cheapest on eBay but you can find them in any hardware store. While you are buying, get a smoke detector and a radon detector as well, you will be glad you did.

do carbon monoxide alarms work well?
.
I was wondering whether carbon monoxide alarms work well? I'm looking for a decent one to install in my lounge, to monitor the gas fire we have.
Would one like this be ok?

Answer
They do work and you should have them in your home. Keep in mind that the sensor life is 3-5 years. Also note that co alarms only go off when co levels become dangerous. Long term exposure to low levels of co can be bad for your health. Having a working co detector doesn't guarantee safety. Have gas fired appliances and fireplaces checked regularly.
