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.
Awareness leads to quick thinking. Measurement leads to quick action.
Are you in the know?
Do I know enough about carbon monoxide and carbon monoxide poisoning to justify never knowing how much is in the air I breathe every day, everywhere I go?”
There are some people who want to be notified of the presence of carbon monoxide at levels or concentrations as soon as the gas is present, at concentrations well below those that can instigate poor health symptoms but not be high enough levels to sound the CO alarm they own.
There are some people who do not want to push a button on their CO alarm to see what low, aggravating levels of the poison might be in their home, or anywhere.
The most recommended CO Alarm in U.S. is a high level alarm
Standard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms

1.3 Carbon monoxide alarms covered by this standard are not intended to alarm when exposed to long-term, low-level carbon monoxide exposures or slightly higher short-term transient carbon monoxide exposures, possibly caused by air pollution and/or properly installed/maintained fuel-fired appliances and fireplaces…

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

Warning! Air Pollution Could Lead to Diabetes
Nature World News
For the study, the researchers analyzed the data of 2,994 participants of the KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region Augsburg) F4 study conducted in southern Germany… With their comparison, the researchers were able to find a significant association between increases in blood marker levels and increases in air pollutant concentrations. Additionally, the researchers discovered that people with impaired glucose metabolism were particularly vulnerable to the effects of air pollution…
We're hard-wired to ignore climate change
Winnipeg Free Press
The truth is we’re virtually hard-wired to ignore climate change. Our evolutionary brains are attuned to immediate danger, prioritizing a visible threat over an implicit one. We are also a storytelling culture, better able to comprehend an issue when it is framed for us with clear antagonists and protagonists, stakes and consequences. Climate change is a characterless and amorphous threat to our future, until its fallouts directly affect us. So naturally we consider other politics more pressing…
Climate change is really bad for wheat — which is really bad for us
Washington Post
One of the biggest concerns about climate change is the effect it will have on agriculture. Many studies have suggested that rising temperatures could be harmful to farms around the world, although there’s plenty of uncertainty about how bad things will get and which food supplies we should worry about most… Now, a new study published Monday in Nature Climate Change reiterates concerns that wheat — the most significant single crop in terms of human consumption — might be in big trouble. After comparing multiple studies used to predict the future of global crop production, researchers have found that they all agree on one point: rising temperatures are going to be really bad for wheat production…

Bacteria and viruses are behind most cases of pneumonia – but it can also be caused by physical injury, chemicals such as chlorine fumes, or infectious agents such as parasites and fungi… There’s also what’s known as ‘walking pneumonia’ – so-called because sufferers feel well enough to get up and around. Unfortunately, this can lead to a delay in diagnosis and ultimately means symptoms can get worse…

Norway's Oil Dilemma: To Drill or Not to Drill
News Deeply
Even as we were learning about the environmental crisis, we tripled oil production. How could we then pretend to be a country concerned about the environment? Well, Norway was instrumental in developing the Kyoto regime and the accounting process. The system was based on the burning of oil, and we didn’t burn that much. We use an enormous amount of electricity, because we have cheap electricity [mostly from hydropower]. So we came out OK. Still, the carbon dioxide pollution that comes with the production of oil increased many fold, and it destroyed the Norwegian carbon budget…
