“Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.”
Maya Angelou (1928, bio link)
We are a combustion culture. We burn things so we can use the energy. Look around. If all the people in the world who could read this message right this very minute, did read this message wherever they may be and just looked around, (at home, traveling, commuting, in school, at work, waiting somewhere, etc.) they most likely would find that they are within reach or just a few meters of a combustion system. For those of us in large buildings, the combustion system most likely too, is inside the building with us, heating water or air or cooking or even cleaning.
Medical facts of science warn us to avoid breathing in combustion gases. Be aware of where you are. Like love, carbon monoxide poisoning can strike almost anywhere at any time; look around. Who is responsible for the air you breathe? Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

We are not the only one’s here!
Globally, about one-quarter of black carbon emissions come from residential sources. Only a small fraction of North Americans depend on biomass-burning stoves. But about 3 billion people worldwide cook and heat their homes with stoves that burn wood, dung, other biomass, or coal. This raises the obvious issue of whether targeting cookstoves for emissions reductions means burdening the less wealthy and pushing the responsibility from those responsible for high per-capita emissions – American SUV drivers, for example – to those already at the low end of the income scale. (This is an excerpt from the following link about our global atmosphere and steps to address the predicaments.)

·
Is there a
consensus evacuation level for citizens?
·
Are personal
carbon monoxide safety monitors worn by all emergency responders who respond to
distressed citizen calls and enter unfamiliar buildings?
·
Are the buildings
equipped with carbon monoxide alarm devices that are equal to the standards
utilized by emergency responders for air support and evacuation?
·
Since not all
people are of equal health, carbon monoxide alarms & warning devices will
be in all buildings where people may be exposed to any level of carbon monoxide
and be alerted to levels equal to the compliance standards for emergency
responders use of self contained breathing apparatus and evacuation.
·
Is there a common
practice to test all people with flu-like or other symptoms known to be
associated with carbon monoxide poisoning? Are they tested for CO poisoning
when the symptoms are presented, including those with heart dysfunctions? Are
emergency responders testing victims with symptoms or those associated by
vicinity to the carbon monoxide distress on site with non-invasive devices?
·
How far away are
the hyperbaric facilities?
·
Are the
combustion heating systems in all buildings tested and tuned
regularly to reduce the inefficiencies and hazards of these systems?

Is there an
educational program for consumers regarding fire and carbon monoxide safety in
place that begins in early childhood and continues through all ages?

“The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945, bio link)

The “Not so Silent Killer”
Poisoning from carbon monoxide can go undetected though a person might be experiencing symptoms every day. There is not always an odor when CO is present, though you can smell lawn mower or auto exhaust and motor boat and other blended exhausts most of the time when they are running or idling. These odors can and most likely contain carbon monoxide though CO itself is odorless.
Carbon monoxide must be measured with sensor technology designed for that specific gas. This measurement includes the ambient air or the air we breathe and in the combustion gases of furnaces, water heaters, boilers, cooking systems and the other hydrocarbon fueled systems used around us every day. CO can also be measured in the human body by drawing blood and testing or non-invasively through pulse co-oximetry or breath analysis.
Your home or the building you work in or visit may contain malfunctioning oil, gas or wood furnaces, boilers, water heaters, space heaters, cooking systems or fireplaces that are already producing large amounts of CO. 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! Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

“Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.” Rosa Parks (1913-2005, bio link)
Please take CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY CARE during all holiday and everyday activities.
CAUTION: It is a common practice by many to warm up the kitchen with their gas oven or cookers, often with the door open. These appliances were not designed to be a space heater. The door open on the oven allows substantial oxygen flooding of the combustion zone and may result in the production of dangerous levels of CO.
How much carbon monoxide is produced by this appliance, how long will someone be exposed and what is their current health status? Is there something in personal health history that may reveal a connection between chronic poor air conditions and symptoms? Might there be some discovery waiting for measurement?
All gas ovens should be tested and adjusted to provide desired heat and with minimal carbon monoxide generation. Often these are unvented systems and their combustion gases can quickly spoil indoor air quality. We cannot take any combustion system for granted. They may never have been tested. Periodic testing will reduce the hazardous conditions if corrective actions occur. The use of low level carbon monoxide alarms will alert you to levels before there is an onslaught of substantial illness symptoms. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Some of the most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning — headache, dizziness and nausea — are strikingly similar to those of the flu. So similar, Wilton EMS Operations Chief Nash Alexander said, that if a patient didn’t know they had been exposed to the deadly gas, paramedics historically would have treated them for a really bad case of the flu. But relatively new, non-invasive devices called RAD-57 can detect the level of carbon monoxide in a person’s bloodstream in about the time it takes for paramedics to take a victim’s pulse, providing potentially lifesaving readings in a matter of seconds.

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963, bio link)
Please don’t ignore these facts!
The following linked articles summarize an extensive study on carbon monoxide atmospheres in residences as well as discovering the presence and use of carbon monoxide alarms in the same dwellings.

Carbon Monoxide News - May 24, 2012
“Honest pioneer work in the field of science has always been, and will continue to be, life's pilot. On all sides, life is surrounded by hostility. This puts us under an obligation.” Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957, bio link)
The Human Fire
Most people don’t think of themselves as combustion systems, but they are. Air is approximately 20.9% oxygen and almost 79% nitrogen. The food, or fuel we eat and drink is made of predominantly hydrogen, carbon & proteins. When we mix the oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and proteins into our system we generate heat & energy and exhaust gases, similar to an oil burning combustion system.
Since humans are not perfect combustion systems, some levels of CO are produced. 1 to 3% COHb is often referenced as “normal”. Baseline & periodic testing can verify “normal”. Normal is specific to measured levels outside in air in PPM and in blood by % when exogenous (outside) sources are limited. Smokers can be in the 1-15% range, depending upon how much they smoke. Ask your doctor about a baseline COHb% test.

High levels of carbon monoxide in Merseyside homes
ITV News
A study by Liverpool John Moores University has found that some homes in Liverpool have dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, and that residents are unaware of the problem. As part of the research, Merseyside fire-fighters visited over 22000 randomly selected homes and tested them for carbon monoxide. 49 of them had dangerous levels of the gas.
Data-loggers were then fitted in another 109 randomly-selected homes, and researchers found that just under half had levels of the gas that were high enough to potentially cause long-term health problems, but not always high enough to trigger a carbon monoxide alarm. Despite this, researchers say alarms are still important as they tell people if they are in immediate danger from the gas. NOTE this supports the need for better carbon monoxide alarms. Please get a low level carbon monoxide alarm for your home or business as soon as possible. Visit: CO Experts
