Carbon Monoxide
RARE & SPECIALITY GAS
Carbon Monoxide is an odorless, colorless and toxic gas. Because it is impossible to see, taste or smell the toxic fumes, CO can be very dangerous. At lower levels of exposure, CO causes mild effects that are often mistaken for the flu. Carbon Monoxide is supplied in various cylinder sizes.
Carbon Monoxide has a commercial grade purity of 98.0%; AGP can provide higher purity CO; a number of options are available below, please contact us for additional information.
