CO is 97% the weight of typical atmospheric mix, so yes it’s lighter, but by such a small difference that it spreads and fills a space evenly over a short period of time rather then starting at the ceiling and filling in the space downward.
Basically, going down to escape won’t work, you need to get away from the area of high concentration.
the book im reading had a cavein and the main characters decided to dig deeper for fresh air.
…did it work?
no, they were saved by the S-teir elemental that caused the cave-in in the first place. litRPGs doing their thing.
Hwfwm? I’m not caught up
Nah, Artorian’s Archives. I’m reading it on recommendation from my brother.
Well, CO is lighter than air. Not a bad idea if carbon monoxide is the immediate threat

it’s the other heavier gases that will kill you.
Yup. CO2 being the most obvious one
