Carbon Monoxide News; provided to enhance awareness through education. We are all educators in this school.
Every day, every month and, every year awareness associated with carbon monoxide increases as the diligence of study and collaboration of professionals also increases. As awareness increases, poisonings are prevented. The variety of circumstances and the noted efforts of community responders to educate and reduce poisonings helps demonstrate the instructions and principles of this effort. Scrolling back in time through this news link may be the educational pathway that will help you as an instructor convey your message of safety.
During warmer months, the incidences of heating system related poisonings decrease, but they increase in the realm of recreational activities from camping in tents to camping in parking lot style campgrounds with mobile, self-contained residences that have gas appliances, generators and accessory barbeques.
Carbon monoxide measurement and protection from harmful gases are necessary acts. How well protected are you in your mobile residence at the rodeo, carnival, state fair, club meet, national park or state campground? How well protected are you on your boat?
The more you test for carbon monoxide, the more there is to learn. You can read all about carbon monoxide poisonings in this news site and archives. You can do Internet searches on “carbon monoxide” and never reach the end of the results. But if you really want to learn about carbon monoxide, begin measuring it; not just once in a while, but often enough to know who is responsible for the air you breathe.
