CO alarm standards – know when you are protected
“Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.” John F. Kennedy (1917-1963, bio link)
If you can read this, you too have been carbon monoxide poisoned. It is unavoidable living in an economically driven combustion culture.
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.
Take responsibility of the air you breathe. Carbon monoxide must be measured. Do not let the symptoms of carbon monoxide be your alarm. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
