Abstract
In the last five years, 45 people died and 104 were wounded because of carbon monoxide poisoning accident. CO poisoning accident is higher than any other gas accident in the rate of deaths/incidents. Most of these CO poisoning accidents were caused by defective exhaust tube in the old gas boiler and multi-use facility. In this study, the spread of CO gas released from leakage hole of exhaust tube was analyzed by concentration measuring test. CO gas leaked form exhaust tube in a building was highest concentrated near the ceiling. Through these experiments, the reasonable installation location of CO alarm was made certain and suggested.
