Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that is toxic to the central nervous system and the heart.  When inhaled, carbon monoxide compromises the ability of red blood cells to deliver oxygen to vital organs.  Accordingly, carbon monoxide poisoning victims may exhibit vision problems, angina, respiratory failure, nausea, fatigue and low blood pressure.  Unfortunately, many of these symptoms can easily be mistaken for those of other common illnesses.  Installing a carbon monoxide sensor can alert you of this otherwise undetectable danger.

Sources of Carbon Monoxide

Gas and wood burning appliances generate carbon monoxide as a byproduct.  If available ventilation does not disperse carbon monoxide, the concentration of gas can pose a life-threatening danger.  Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur at home or at work.  At home, stoves, furnaces, gas lanterns, barbecues, lawn mowers, and vehicles can leave elevated levels of carbon monoxide.  In the work environment, carbon monoxide commonly threatens firefighters, welders, mechanics, and parking attendants.
