Subject: RE: faulty smoke detectors
I was looking for information on smoke dectectors and found your article. I am looking for a photoelectric smoke detector. We just bought a new house that has a smoke detector in every room. I found out that Ionization detectors give off small amounts of radiation. I was told that if I did anything to any of the smoke detectors in the house they would all be affected. I would like to change to the photoelectric smoke detectors now more than ever after reading your article. Can you tell me what companies manufactor this type of equiptment and where I might be able to purchase one?
Thanks for the information
