Carbon Monoxide causes headaches and much worse!

If the landlord is not concerned maybe your local fire or public health department should be called. Often they will provide a free on site inspection and test the levels in your building. They will be able to apply the leverage needed to get something done. I would also suggest a CO detector to warn you if the levels become dangerous. Although long-term exposure to low levels have serious health consequences also.
