Plants and carbon monoxide
Is there any possibility that an abundance of plants in a home could prevent carbon monoxide alarms from detecting a leak? I ask as I've read that some plants can absorb carbon monoxide and not just CO2. Is this anything to worry about?

Best Answer
"No. Whilst some CO will be absorbed, you’d have to have a rainforest before it would make any significant difference."

"There is nothing to worry About as plants only absorb and release very minimal amounts and when I say minimal I mean really really tiny"

"The more plants you have indoors the cleaner your air will be I shouldn't imagine thay would filter enough to combat a leek tho"
