CO is the product of incomplete combustion. If you have gas or oil heat, or some other combustion-based heat, this can certainly become an issue, especially if the ventilation is poor or blocked.
The easiest way to protect yourself is to maintain your heaters and water heaters frequently and keep them clean, for most efficient combustion. Keep them well-ventilated, and install a CO detector in your home. If it goes off, leave the house and call the Fire Department. They have gas meters, and can enter and determine the levels of CO in the home, and in some cases the areas of highest concentration.
