Avoid poisoning by carbon monoxide
Every year, more than 500 people die and thousands wind up in the emergency room from carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are some tips on safety from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
* Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas produced by incomplete burning of propane, kerosene, gasoline, oil, natural gas, wood or charcoal. Common sources of CO include space heaters, chimney flues, malfunctioning appliances like water heaters, ranges, clothes dryers, oil and gas furnaces.
* Symptoms of CO poisoning inlcude nausea, fatigue, headaches and dizziness.
* Carbon monoxide alarms are not the same as smoke alarms; you need both.
* If a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, immediately operate the reset/silence button and call your fire department or dial 911.
* Move to fresh air, either outside or to an open window or door.
* Account for every household member, including animals.
* Do not re-enter your home until emergency services arrive, the home is aired out and the CO alarm does not reactivate.
* If your CO alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat the steps above and call a qualified technical to examine your appliances, identify the sources of CO and make repairs.
