It's not neccessary a carbon (monoxide), which can trigger the CO
sensor. They are cross-sensitive to hydrogen, which is intensively
produced by chemical reactions with etching. The CO sensor has filters,
which increase the selectivity, but they may get aged which makes whole
sensor more sensitive to e.g. hydrogen.
