After cooking on our new gas stove last night for approximately 30-45 minutes, my husband said that the carbon monoxide detector in our bedroom read a level of 15ppm. This is the highest we have seen it, generally speaking it doesn't go over 10ppm. At what point (in ppm) should we be concerned?

Carbon monoxide is a health concern in any concentration.  The effects of carbon monoxide posioning are cumulative.  You should have the oven and all of the other gas appliances in your house checked.

Any level of concentration of carbon monoxide is dangerous as it forms decarboxy hemoglobin which is not capable of carrying oxygen and is 3oo times more stable than oxyhemoglobin and  
its effect over health depend on health of the person and surroundings in which he live
