Carbon monoxide (CO) is a flammable gas. It is easily ignited when mixed with air in concentrations between 12% and 75%. An explosion is possible, if a mixture of CO and air is ignited in a confined space. Explosions have also occurred when cylinders of compressed CO are heated (perhaps in a fire) to the point that pressure ruptures the cylinder.
