“The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.” Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882, bio link)
You can’t run and hide from it, so stand up to carbon monoxide threats
Carbon monoxide is not discriminatory. If you are an aerobic organism, one living in the presence of oxygen, you are vulnerable to carbon monoxide poisoning from exposure to combustion gases that may contain the poison. Some people are more vulnerable than others, and somewhat helpless too, due to the lack of diligence by others.
Help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning through education, detection and diligence of measurement. Air can be measured, combustion system gases can be measured and people can be measured. Ready set go – begin your measurements and measure well. Meaurement is education.
