“To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.”
Voltaire (1694-1778, bio link)
Testing the health of a system; comparing a human to a system of controlled fire.
The human body has specific requirements regarding the flow of air & fuel into the dynamic conversion mechanism that generates life. When oxygen begins to be displaced, breakdowns of function begin as do errant neural firings and symptoms begin to occur. Testing when symptoms are presented is vital.
In the laws of fire and combustion where fuel, air and heat are required to be within specific ranges for complete combustion to occur, if you take one of the components away, combustion stops. If air and fuel are not proportioned exactly through the heat then the quality of combustion degrades. Testing of combustion gases is vital for safety and efficiency.
There are similarities in the requirements for complete human combustion and the complete combustion desired in a controlled fire system.
How much carbon monoxide is too much? The reactions to oxidative stress will vary significantly due to age, sex, weight and overall state of health of the individual. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
FROM: Washington State Department of Labor and IndustriesFork lift requirements for violation of breathable air space with carbon monoxide provide levels remain below the 35 parts per million (PPM) eight hour time-weighted average (TWA) permissible and 200 PPM five minute (1,500 PPM instantaneous) ceiling exposure limits established by the state.
Consider low level protection for carbon monoxide and smoldering fire detection problems
