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
