Carbon monoxide will rise indoors. CO is slightly lighter (28amu) than O2 (32amu) which comprises about 21% of air and of equal mass to N2 (28amu) which comprises pretty much all of the remaining 79%. So its density is very slightly lower. However, the reason it is likely to rise has more to do with the fact that it is usually the result of combustion and will therefore be warmer than the surrounding air - causing it to rise.
The bottom line is this: the difference in density is so slight and the mixing of the CO with the air in a room so rapid that it would be very safe to assume that if excess amounts of carbon monoxide are present in a building they will quickly spread to all floors in a multi-story building/house. So don't just put a detector on the top floor thinking that all of the CO will end up there! If there's source of CO in your basement (or anywhere, for that matter) it could be a dangerous situation throughout the house. Install a detector on each level.

Which is not caused by the combined effects of nicotine tar and carbon monoxide on the cardiovascular system?
Carbon monoxide, tar and nicotine have a detrimental effect of the cardiovascular system. They clog arteries, cause the heart rate to rise, stroke and heart disease.
What does carbon monoxide pollution come from?
You inhale it then the Carbon monoxide bonds with the hemoglobin in blood.Hemoglobin is supposed to bond with oxygen and carry it around the blood stream - but chemically it prefers to bond to carbonmonoxide - when it does this your blood can't carry as much oxygen and you get drowsy and then pass out and die. It's almost like slow internal suffocation.
Does natural gas rise or fall indoors?
Neither. The specific gravity is generally less than air, so one might think it would raise. However, it will quickly mix (disperse) in the room's air, so the concentrations of gas indoors will not be much different.
What is the alternate rise and fall in the level of sea water?
The rise and fall is the tides.
When you shiver does your body temperature rise or fall?
rise
Where is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is not created by incomplete combustion. Almost all fuel burning appliances and fires do not burn at 100% efficiency. So some carbon monoxide gas is created. The amount produced is usually not a problem if the appliances are working as designed and venting properly. However, there are many circumstances that can cause carbon monoxide levels to rise. http://www.carbon-monoxide-Survivor.com/carbon-monoxide-sources-where-it-comes-from.html
Carbon dioxide in the air is causing the temperature to rise or fall?
To rise. This is global warming.

Where to place carbon dioxide detecter high or low?
Carbon MONOXIDE is lighter than air, and will rise. Place the detector high. Carbon DIOXIDE is heavier than air, and will sink. Place detector low.

When a person hyperventilates does the level of carbon dioxide in the persons blood rise or fall?
It falls.
Does carbon Dioxide rise or fall indoors?
It goes up in the winter when the plants and trees in the northern hemisphere stop growing (and so stop removing carbon dioxide from the air). When spring arrives vegetation starts to grow again and the levels reduce slightly.
Does natural gas rise or fall indoors?
Neither. The specific gravity is generally less than air, so one might think it would raise. However, it will quickly mix (disperse) in the room's air, so the concentrations of gas indoors will not be much different.
Does the equator rise or fall?
It does not rise or fall. It is an imaginary line.
What is the difference between gradient and fall?
Fall is the height of a slanted or diagonal straight surface. Gradient is the result of rise divided by fall (rise/fall) (rise over fall)
