6. CO exposure level and health effects
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a cumulative poison
• Time of exposure and concentration of CO both play a part

7. Why a LowLevel CO
Alarm?
UL listed CO alarms are meant to offer protection to healthy adults during
very high levels of CO in a home's air.
When a UL 2034 alarm goes off, it IS an emergency!
Possible CO exposure from a UL2034 alarm:
30 ppm for up to 30 days
70 ppm for up to 4 hours
150 ppm for up to 50 minutes
400 ppm for up to 15 minutes
The Defender LL6070 alarms with long term, low levels of CO as well as short
term high levels.
The best of both worlds!
Low level alarms protect high risk or homebound persons from CO exposure
because they may experience ill effects from CO at levels that would not
usually affect a healthy adult.
A Defender LL6070 Detector can give you very crucial early warning of a
developing CO problem.
