Very untrue. CO is the same or just slightly lighter than air. It does not settle.
Detectors are better off placed closer to the ceiling. Especially around sleeping areas.
You should have a CO detector on every level of a residence.
Also, if your CO alarm goes off, DO NOT open up and try to air the house out. That makes it extremely hard for us to get the actual levels and source of the leak. Leave doors and windows closed , get your family outside and wait for us to get there.
