PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF 
CARBON MONOXIDE

1. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless

gas that is a natural by-product of internal combustion.
It is commonly referred to as CO.

2. CO weighs about the same as air so it does not rise or

fall like some other gases, but will distribute itself
throughout the space.

HOW A PERSON IS AFFECTED BY CARBON MONOXIDE

Carbon monoxide is absorbed by the lungs and reacts with
blood hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which
reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. The
result is a lack of oxygen for the tissues with the subsequent
tissue death and, if prolonged, death of the individual.

EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE

Carbon monoxide in high concentrations can be fatal in a
matter of minutes. Lower concentrations must not be
ignored because the effects of exposure to CO are cumu-
lative and can be just as lethal over time.

SYMPTOMS

Initial reactions to CO poisoning can easily be mistaken for
sea sickness. One or more of the following symptoms can
signal the adverse effect of CO accumulation:

1. Watering and itchy eyes
2. Flushed appearance
3. Throbbing temples
4. Inattentiveness
5. Inability to think coherently
6. Ringing in the ears
7. Tightness across the chest
8. Headache

9. Drowsiness
10. Incoherence
11. Nausea
12. Dizziness
13. Fatigue
14. Vomiting
15. Collapse
16. Convulsions

NOTE: The order of the above list is generally the
sequence of appearance of symptoms. However, the order
of appearance may change for different people.

TREATMENT (Evacuate, Ventilate, Investigate, Take
Corrective Action)

If you suspect CO poisoning, immediately take the follow-
ing steps:

1. Move the person to fresh air.

2. Administer oxygen if available.

3. Contact Medical help.

4. If the victim is not breathing, perform artificial respira-

tion per approved CPR procedures until medical help
arrives and takes over.

5. Ventilate area.

6. Investigate source of CO and take corrective action.

Prompt action can make the difference between life
and death.

INSPECTION

Look and listen for leaks in the exhaust systems of both
the generator and propulsion engine(s). Look for discol-
