There is no safe level of CO.

I understand your personal tragedy and you have my sympathies, but as a chemical engineer, I do have to respond to the above statement. There is a level for every chemical at which the chemical will not pose any significant threat to human beings. OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, allows workers to be exposed to 50 parts per million of carbon monoxide in air over an 8 hour working day. Should anyone wish to view information of carbon monoxide exposure limits, check here:

Please understand that I am not trying to "nitpick" here, I have just seen too many cases where statements about chemicals are taken by the general public as fact when in actuality the evidence does not support the positions being presented.
