What is best placement for this type of detector? Am reading natural gas is lighter than air. Thanks

By the hot water heater. Or a room or hallway close to it.

They are practically the same density, CM and air. Keeping it low near ground will be fine.

If put it somewhere easy to reach, like face level. That way you'll actually remember it's there and keep batteries in it.

Normally these are confined space monitors. They are programmed to go off at a certain thresh hold, which is before lethal levels of either are reached. You keep it clipped to your belt, or if going down in a hole they also offer monitors with a probe that you can drop down to get a reading. Industrial Scientific and MSA both make very reliable monitors.
Eta: are you talking home use or field use? I believe I misunderstood the question.

CO is the same density as air for all intents and purposes.
Put it near your hot water heater. That and your AC/heater are the most common places in a home.

My carbon monoxide detector was installed by my alarm company, and it is monitored along with my home alarm. The alarm does not have to be armed for them to get a CO alert. Mine is centrally located on the ceiling in the hallway.

We have one, and it is located about 6 feet off the ground in the hallway where all the bedrooms are. We have a one story house. This location is also near the gas furnace (which is in attic). This placement was recommended to us by our neighbor who is a fireman.
