how come i see on some dyi shows there putting a co dectector on the ceiling when co is detected close to the floor

Unlike smoke, which rises, carbon monoxide mixes with the air so the detector can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, though the best location would be at the breathing height of those in the room.
