Pilot light problems usually indicate problems with CO- and CO in any concentration is a big problem; but if it is present at levels over 50ppm, it can be deadly!! CO2 on the other hand, is always around us; it's what plants 'breathe' and turn into Oxygen.. CO2 levels can build up in very tight, unventilated buildings; and result in fatigue or headaches due to displacing oxygen, but CO2 is much less of a threat than CO, which prevents our blood cells from picking up oxygen in the lungs, and has the potential to kill - and it does kill hundreds of people a year.
