Human Practices

Currently, the common CO detectors on the market are only sound-based. However, as people age, their senses aren't quite what they used to be, and our cell could help save even more lives with another sensory warning of the hidden danger. Also, many work places, such as construction sites, are extremely loud, easily loud enough to drown out the little beeping of a sensor, however, a disgusting and identifiable smell permeating through the compound could again save even more lives. Coupled with the common household detector, our cell could greatly reduce the number of CO deaths per year.
