CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”)
Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid
breathing toxic fumes from combustion or leaking gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless,
odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel.
Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels
can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss
of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas
from poisoning you, your family, or others:
•
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or
in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be
mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
•
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
•
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants,
the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as
anemia, or heart disease.
