I have not seem them in Italy either. I have just bought some from an online shop from the UK but they would not send them because their courier was worried as there was a minute piece of radioactive material in them??!! Thats what they told me but apparently this piece makes the CO2 alarm work. In any event they arrive next week!!

IKEA sell inexpensive smoke alarms here in Italy and I ordered a CO2 alarm from Amazon.co.uk with no problems. As AndyT says they are DIY jobs.

Just as a matter of information, they are CO detectors. CO2 is Carbon DIoxide, a harmless trace atmospheric gas, essential to life on earth. CO is Carbon MONoxide, poisonous to air breathing animals and birds, formed when fuel is burnt with an insufficient air mixture.

Actually Neil (sorry to be a Pedant) but CO2 will kill you just as sure as CO, but it's all a question of concentrations (ppm) of both.

CO2 will asphixiate in
Submitted by Neil on Sun, 01/27/2013 - 19:21In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
CO2 will asphixiate in sufficient concentration - unlikely to be reached naturally. CO will poison you in surprisingly low concentrations. A CO meter won't detect CO2 - and doesn't need to, since, as I said, it's benign. Since CO2 is heavier than air, then it is possible for it to reach fatal concentrations in mines or below decks in boats, but in domestic circumstances, its totally unlikely. I brought the subject up to illustrate that, far from being a problem, CO2 is essential to life on this planet, and is not a poison. 8o) Neil

CO detectors can be bought in various shops. AS far as I know, a CO2 detector is called a canary and went out of fashion some time ago, Lidl certainly dont sell them.
