Possible carbon monoxide poisoning sends 4 to hospital - ABC 12 ...
ABC 12 A smoke alarm may have helped save lives in Saginaw County Thursday, not from a fire, but from carbon monoxide poisoning.
"Readings inside the building are as high as 120 parts per million and the occupant stated she has been feeling poorly for a couple of days now," Nelson said. The woman had previously gone to the doctor thinking she had the flu or a bad cold. Her symptoms were similar to someone who has been exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas, that can be difficult to detect. "Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, depending on the level of exposure, could be sleepy, more sleepy than normal," Nelson said. Three adults and a child were taken to the hospital. When fire crews arrived, they approached with carbon monoxide monitors in hand.
"When we got to the door way it was already climbing in excess of 40 parts per million, and our thresh hold is 25 and we will put on our air packs, because if its that high at the door, it could be even higher inside," said David Smigiel of the Bridgeport Township Fire Department.
COSA Reminder: CO alarms listed under the U.L. 2034 Standard do not begin alarming at its lowest tested level until 70 PPM of carbon monoxide has been present for up to one full hour and then as long as 4 hours. If you are experiencing any of the known symptoms, get to fresh air and ask your health care provider to test your carboxyhemoglobin levels as soon as possible. "Why wait for the alarm to tell you? Get a low level alarm that protects all who enter."

CO is called the silent killer but...
Carbon monoxide can be present within the common everyday “smells” of the combustion systems we often use or are around. Because CO is odorless, tasteless and invisible, it must be measured. No one can smell how much CO is in the air, but please be informed and inform others that the smells of a barbeque, gasoline powered generator, automobile, snowmobile, motor boat, lawn mower, snow blower, jet ski, smoldering house fire and other “odors of combustion” may contain deadly levels of carbon monoxide. These combustion gases should be regarded with guarded respect. Carbon monoxide should be monitored in every building and the alarm set points should be based upon health considerations of all the people in the building.
Automobile exhaust and the accidental breathing of carbon monoxide is the number one cause of this poisoning accident. A vehicle left running in a garage is an especially dangerous practice and is even more dangerous if the garage is attached to a house, apartment or any building. Even though it is done every day, working on cars, snow blowers & other engines inside buildings is always potentially dangerous. The large open door is really not enough. CO alarms should be in place.
