22 parts per million carbon monoxide?
the FD is at by building--they say there are 22 parts per million CO in the basement--is that normal?
someones detector went off
know they are saying 30--but aren't evacuating--only 1 apartment affected so far
it doesn'gt necessarily have to be a heater-
i wanst to know teh significance of teh amount of CO
like is 30 still considered a low reading--or a very high reading
the issue wasn't resolvedin teh basement--if was left overnight until maintenace could address it the next day--
the area will the 1000 reading was left alone over night
i found out after wardsa about the basement with the 1000 reading
Answer
In my area the natural gas company treats it as an emergency and responds right away with any reading 9 ppm or higher.
I would not let my family stay in any area with any CO reading.
The Center for Disease Control site has info on CO.

Answer
If the dwelling as adequate ventilation, and the heater is functioning as new (no yellow impingement flame) and you are not feeling any nausea, tiredness or drowsy then most likely you haven't a worry in the world.
One thing you may not realize, is if you smoke there is more CO in the dwelling and your bloodstream than any heater would throw out. There is also more likelihood the gas water heater would be more dangerous than it is.
3 ppm is common where an upper limit may be considered at 10 ppm where smokers puff away. 30 is dangerous.
Purchase a CO detector, mount it at or near floor level and relax.
