“There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met.”
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939, bio link) 

You may note that workers in the U.S. have the language of protection from carbon monoxide poisoning, represented as a 50 PPM ”average” exposure limit over an 8 hour period of time. You may also note the absence of a requirement for the placement of workplace carbon monoxide alarms to ensure these levels are not breached. The alarms listed under the standard U.L. 2034 do not meet the obligations of OSHA workplace carbon monoxide exposure "protection".

Another item worthy of mention is that fire departments in many and more and more locations, are evacuating buildings when levels of carbon monoxide exceed 10 PPM of carbon monoxide and almost exclusively when over 35 PPM of CO. This conflicts with workplace standards. We need to talk. We need to take action.

A friend of mine notified me that the pair of bald eagles has returned to their nest along the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. The Alcoa Company has their web cam up and running and viewing of the nest is possible during daylight hours, Central Standard Time, US. I looked for the first time recently and the nest was being rebuilt and tended to by the pair. The Alcoa Eagle website gives a good history of the pair and the company’s involvement with them. If you haven’t viewed this site through the hatching and growth of the eaglets, I think you may find it to be quite a live sight to see when you may have those periodic spare moments. This link will be posted on this site for those people who may wish to capture the link and watch the cycle of life of this nesting pair.

“Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.”
Khalil Gibran (1883-1931, bio link)

Carbon monoxide must be measured
Carbon monoxide is not that hard to detect. But you have to have test instruments or a good working carbon monoxide alarm to accomplish the task. The symptoms are well known, they just have to be recognized by the sufferer sooner and by the health care provider who is presented the symptoms.

These symptoms can be the common headache or head stuffiness and flu-like symptoms. Stomach disorders, including nausea also compound the symptoms presented when the poison begins taking over the oxygen binding sites on the hemoglobin molecules within the human body. Heart stresses and breathing problems can also be experienced.

The victim or symptom sufferer can be tested, the air can be tested and boilers and all appliances can be tested. The only thing left to do is begin testing. (And then begin fixing the problems.)

Increased education, awareness can prevent carbon monoxide poisoning
Minnesota Department of Commerce

SAINT PAUL, MN – Each year about 50,000 people visit emergency rooms in the United States for CO poisoning, and more than 500 die each year from this silent, odorless, colorless gas. As part of Winter Hazard Awareness Week (November 5-9), the Minnesota Department of Commerce warns Minnesotans of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and to take steps to avoid this “silent killer.”

Note this distraction from carbon monoxide poisoning:
Bald Eagle Camera Alcoa Bald Eagle Camera, Davenport, Iowa.
A friend of mine notified me that the pair of bald eagles has returned to their nest along the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. The Alcoa Company has their web cam up and running and viewing of the nest is possible during daylight hours, Central Standard Time, US. I looked for the first time recently and the nest was being rebuilt and tended to by the pair. The Alcoa Eagle website gives a good history of the pair and the company’s involvement with them. If you haven’t viewed this site through the hatching and growth of the eaglets, I think you may find it to be quite a live sight to see when you may have those periodic spare moments. This link will be posted on this site for those people who may wish to capture the link and watch the cycle of life of this nesting pair.

What does this have to do with carbon monoxide safety?
It is just a live web cam, perhaps a distraction from the headlines of death and injury. Please become aware of the air you breathe. Measurement is education. Measure your air accurately when measuring carbon monoxide.
