According to the Health and Safety Executive, and their publication of workplace exposure limits as of November 2021, the long term exposure limit for carbon monoxide gas is 20ppm (parts per million) and the short term exposure limit is 100ppm. CO is classified as a toxic substance that can have many adverse, and even deadly, effects on the human body.
