    CO gas sends you to sleep when released so you are unlikely to notice the colour change on your patch.

    Oh dear, that's a very simplistic and alarmist view. Yes, high concentrations of carbon monoxide can kill but low concentrations also cause illness without death.

    Have a read of the NHS page on carbon monoxide poisoning.

    An alarm can only react to instantaneous conditions where it is. Conceivably a patch could be a useful backup to monitor exposure in other locations or over time, in much the same way as radiation dosimeter.
