“The secret thoughts of a man run over all things, holy, profane, clean, obscene, grave, and light, without shame or blame.”
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679, bio link)
Carbon monoxide displaces oxygen in people and animals as soon as any concentration is breathed in and begins poisoning. Exposure to carbon monoxide occurs daily to almost everyone who is interactive in our combustion engine culture. The severity of the poisoning varies as does any immediate impact on the health of the individuals exposed. Long term, chronic exposures are detrimental to human life and medical facts confirm this.
Are you driving under the influence of carbon monoxide?
Exposure to CO can cause drowsiness, headache and slower reaction time. These are not good conditions if you are driving a car, truck, travel camper of some sort, boat or any other motorized vehicle.
The learning point here is that if you were to measure carbon monoxide at lower levels, you would measure for yourself what the condition of your exposure is in this combustion culture we live in. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
