The detection of carbon monoxide (CO) in the air is a vital issue, as CO is a poisonous gas and an environmental pollutant. CO typically derives from the incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels, such as cooking gas and gasoline; it has no odor, taste, or color and hence it is difficult to detect. Scientists have been investigating sensors that can determine CO concentration and now they have found an innovative method to build such sensors.
