I once after buying two co detectors put my honda generator as close to the back door of my truck camper with the door wide open. I had the exhaust pointing straight into the TC. Now I can not recall how long it took for the co detector to go off but I think it was in the 20 to 25 minute range. I found that to be interesting. I expected maybe a minute or two.
CO is a poison who takes "saturation" to kill and that is how detectors are programmed.
Human body can take big CO doze for a minute or 2 with no effect, but long exposure to mid-level will be lethal.
It is like decompression chart for scuba diving.
You can dive 130 feet for 5 minutes and come up with no decompression, but 30 minutes at 80 feet will put you on the edge.
