Carbon Monoxide (CO) overview

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the bloods’capacity to carry oxygen.
6.1 Possible Sources of CO

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by:
   i) Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
   ii) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
   iii) Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing for limited internal air.
   iv) Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes dryer s, furnaces, or water heaters.
   v) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which amplify the above situations.
   vi) Poorly designed or maintained chimneys and/or vents.

2.  Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).

3. Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

6.2 Symptoms of CO Poisoning
Initial carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to the flu with no fever and can include dizziness, severe headaches, nausea, vomiting and disorientation. Everyone is susceptible but experts agree that unborn babies, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are especially vulnerable. If symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are experienced seek medical attention immediately. CO poisoning can be determined by a carboxyhemoglobin test. The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household:

1. MILD EXPOSURE: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as“ Flu-like” symptoms).
2. MEDIUM EXPOSURE: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heartrate.
3. EXTREME EXPOSURE: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure and death.

The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels differ for those at high risk. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indic at e that while victims are aware they are not feeling well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building, or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected.
WARNING! – Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities.

WARNING! – The device may not prevent the chronic effects of carbon monoxide exposure and that the device will not fully safeguard individuals at special risk.
