CARBON MONOXIDE AND HOW IT CAN
AFFECT YOU
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous, poisonous gas that kills and injures hundreds of people
each year. It is often referred to as the silent killer because it has no odour or taste and
cannot be seen. Like oxygen, carbon monoxide enters the body through the lungs during
the normal breathing process. It competes with oxygen by replacing it in the red blood
cells, thereby reducing the flow of oxygen to the heart, brain and other vital organs. In high
concentrations, carbon monoxide can kill in minutes.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware
they are not feeling well, they become disorientated and unable to save themselves by either
exiting the building or calling for assistance. Exposure during sleep is particularly dangerous
because the victim usually does not wake up.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning
The following symptoms may be related to carbon monoxide poisoning which all household
members should be made aware of:
•

Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as ‘flu like’
symptoms).
