You may also be exposed to CO on a
boat, on a bus, in a car, in a house, on a street, at a construction site, almost
everywhere; be careful!
Whenever you barbeque, always cook in open outside air; even open sided
carports cannot insure that harmful gases will be dispersed safely. Never use
these charcoal, propane, natural gas, wood or other similarly fueled unvented
barbeque systems indoors. There are many types of open exhaust systems that
should never be in operation inside buildings and even in some roof port or
awning situations. Know the difference! Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Note this distraction from carbon monoxide poisoning:
Bald Eagle Camera Alcoa Bald Eagle Camera, Davenport, Iowa.
NOTE: Another camera is in operation from a lower angle.
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. 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. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
