7. Carbon monoxide (CO) overview:
CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build up of CO in the blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level
and interferes with the body’s ability to supply itself with oxygen. Depending on the concentration, CO can kill in minutes.
The most common sources of CO are malfunctioning gas appliance used for heating and cooking ,vehicles running in an attached
garage, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating a grill in an enclosed
space.
Indications of carbon monoxide poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness,
fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is susceptible to the danger of CO, but experts
agree that unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are at the
highest risk for serious injury or death. Every year a qualified technician should inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney,
and flues.
The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the
household:
7.1 Mild Exposure
:
Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as "Flu-like" symptoms).
7.2 Medium Exposure:
