[Bill Lee/Virginia]

I am very respectful and frightened of Carbon Monoxide. I do not know if Carbon Monoxide fumes mix with the air, fall to the floor or rise towards the ceiling. I have cross ventilation in my garage that is attached to the house. I have 3 Carbon Monoxide detectors located in my home. One, a battery powered detector located 12 inches above the garage floor. A second 110 volt detector located on the 1st level 24 inches above the floor. The third battery powered detector is located at floor level on the 2nd level. All 3 detectors are operationally tested every 2/3 months.

My questions are: 1. How are Carbon Monoxide fumes mixed with the air?

2. Are the Carbon Monoxide detectors properly located in my home and garage to protect my family and pets (4 parrots and a cat)?
