Carbon monoxide safety, we are all in this together.
“Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.”

How much carbon monoxide are you in when in any motor vehicle?
Did you know that many people do not measure the air they live in?
After prevention there is no greater awareness than measurement.

Newport News medics were alerted of high levels of carbon monoxide when responding to a call Wednesday evening, an official said…
Carbon monoxide nearly claims Cochrane family
Cochrane Eagle
A faulty furnace, one of two in their home, had been spewing unsafe levels of the gas throughout the house for days. It wasn’t until “a friend” came over with a CO detector that the true nature of their close call was fully revealed…
Cat warns Kinnelon family of carbon monoxide danger

When Canale awoke the next morning at 5, she said Chloe was agitatedly meowing in the bathroom where she sleeps. The bathroom contains a heat vent. It was not the standard common a.m. meowing of a hungry cat demanding to be fed. Instead of going back to sleep, Canale got up because of Chloe's persistent cries. When she entered a hallway, she could see a smoky haze. Apparently, the furnace had attempted to restart itself during the night, but was unable to ignite and released CO…

We have all been CO poisoned, some more than others
The following link takes you to a site with views from those who have been poisoned. The seriousness of carbon monoxide poisoning, the grief, suffering and disorientations experienced are clearly portrayed with the intent to help others and prevent future poisonings. With respect, please visit:
What is in the air you are breathing right now?
What will you be doing today; walking into poison?
Who will be responsible for the air you breathe?
You may be the only person who can prevent your own poisoning.
We are all vulnerable to carbon monoxide exposure and poisoning.
Everyone has been poisoned by CO and will be poisoned again. The degree of the poisoning depends upon allowing yourself to be in a situation where someone else controls the air you breathe and the mechanisms for alarming notification.
Please read the alarm information on the package and in the instructions that come with the carbon monoxide alarm. Know that if it is a U.L. 2034 Listed product (or CSA 6.19 Listed), it is a high level alarm that has been tested to alarm no sooner than 70 PPM at the lowest (the alarm must resist for one hour when above this level) and when over 400 PPM before 15 minutes at the highest concentration, after resisting alarming for 4 minutes when over this level.
Know when your fire department and emergency responders begin wearing their breathing apparatus and what their civilian evacuation levels are for carbon monoxide; it may be as soon as the gas is present in your presence. Pregnant women, infants & children, people with heart & respiratory struggles, those suffering depression or chronic headaches and all people of vulnerable health should be alerted as soon as the gas begins to concentrate, around 10 PPM (parts per million) or lower.
You most likely need a low level carbon monoxide detector to sound off when carbon monoxide hazards are just beginning, not after you’ve been exposed to levels that make you have headaches, flu-like symptoms, increased tiredness, heart stresses or worse.
Do not take risks with carbon monoxide. Take responsibility for the air you breathe and the combustion systems you are responsible for. If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for others, unless you think $45.00, high level protection is good enough.
Help prevent injuries and deaths; don’t guess about carbon monoxide. Measure carbon monoxide for safety and knowledge. The more you test the more you learn. GET BUSY

NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) – More house fires and carbon monoxide poisonings occur during the winter months than any other time of year. Experts say it’s because winter storms, snow or ice knock out power and cause HVAC units to stop working… With no means to stay warm people often get desperate and may use a gas cooking range, or bring a charcoal grill or gas generator indoors…
PF&R Marks 5-Year Anniversary of Carbon Monoxide Law During Heating Season
The City of Portland, Oregon
Carbon monoxide alarms that were installed when the law requiring them in Oregon homes are nearing the end of their useful life… Since then, Oregon has increased the scope of the legislation, to require landlords to install CO alarms in all their properties, regardless of lease status. Oregon also now requires sellers of any residence, including one- and two-family homes, to install CO alarms…

You Won't Believe What I Found in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Regarding Climate ...
CleanTechnica
What amazed me more was finding a file marked “carbon dioxide – climate change” and discovering in its contents, the publication of the Reagan Administration–sponsored two day gathering – Carbon Dioxide, Science and Consensus, September 19-23, 1982. In his opening remarks, the Reagan appointee to the Carbon Dioxide Research Division, Frederick A. Koomanoff, stated, “The Executive Branch and the Congress clearly regard the CO2 issue as one deserving serious, sustained and systematic investigation. The credit for this lies in the good science and solid research that has and is being performed.”

Who is responsible for the air you breathe?
The lowest U.L. 2034 & CSA 6.19 carbon monoxide alarm test point is:
- 70 PPM to 149 PPM –resist one hour, must alarm before 4 hours
Please read the alarm information on the package and in the instructions. Know when your fire department and emergency responders begin wearing their breathing apparatus and what their civilian evacuation levels are for carbon monoxide; it may be before 70 PPM. It is for pregnant women, infants & children, the elderly and all people of vulnerable health. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
Consider low level protection for carbon monoxide and smoldering fire detection problems; don't leave anyone behind.
