Bald Eagle Camera Alcoa Bald Eagle Camera, Davenport, Iowa.
A friend of mine notified me that the pair of bald eagles has returned to their nest along the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. The Alcoa Company has their web cam up and running and viewing of the nest is possible during daylight hours, Central Standard Time, US. UPDATE: Two eggs in the nest. The Alcoa Eagle website gives a good history of the pair and the company’s involvement with them. If you haven’t viewed this site through the hatching and growth of the eaglets, I think you may find it to be quite a live sight to see when you may have those periodic spare moments.

Carbon monoxide is known to have many generating sources. Often times these generating sources operate or are installed in ways and places that are inherently harmful to people. People also make mistakes while using many of these systems. When a poisoning occurs, we search for the source. There are times when we think we have discovered the source of a poisoning, only to have it strike again in the same locations. Like a phantom or the myth of a promise, carbon monoxide is suspicious in its absence. This ghost can be measured and be de-mythed.
There is an expression, “If you play with fire, expect to get burned.” With the number of fires we encounter everyday throughout our lives, we can expect to breathe in carbon monoxide during episodes of exposure, when you may least or never have expected it. From the homes we were brought into the world, the vehicles we encounter, the buildings we enter and throughout our lives, fire will be there and so will its evil breathe. Often, carbon monoxide will be silently penetrating, maybe just teasing us with mild but irritating disruptions until we succumb to the next threat level of oxidative stress.
Carbon monoxide poisoning prevention requires source reduction through vigilant set up and servicing of the equipment that has foreseeable abilities to generate the poison. Combustion equipment used for heating of air and water and for cooking should be verified they are installed to manufacturer specifications and with regard to best practices and code requirements. Installing equipment without verification seems negligent and a poor business practice.
Carbon monoxide poisoning prevention also requires personal protection at home and away from home. How well you want to be protected or how well you want to protect those you are responsible for as a landlord, spouse, parent or provider surely depends upon how aware you are of carbon monoxide threats that can impact all people of variable health conditions. There have been news reports urging people to get protection with a carbon monoxide alarm that can cost as little as $20.00. This will work for you if you have a $20.00 family, or a $20.00 law.

SAINT PAUL, MN – Each year about 50,000 people visit emergency rooms in the United States for CO poisoning, and more than 500 die each year from this silent, odorless, colorless gas. As part of Winter Hazard Awareness Week (November 5-9), the Minnesota Department of Commerce warns Minnesotans of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and to take steps to avoid this “silent killer.”

Bald Eagle Camera Alcoa Bald Eagle Camera, Davenport, Iowa.
A friend of mine notified me that the pair of bald eagles has returned to their nest along the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. The Alcoa Company has their web cam up and running and viewing of the nest is possible during daylight hours, Central Standard Time, US. UPDATE: Two eggs in the nest. The Alcoa Eagle website gives a good history of the pair and the company’s involvement with them. If you haven’t viewed this site through the hatching and growth of the eaglets, I think you may find it to be quite a live sight to see when you may have those periodic spare moments. This link will be posted on this site for those people who may wish to capture the link and watch the cycle of life of this nesting pair.
What does this have to do with carbon monoxide safety?
It is just a live web cam, perhaps a distraction from the headlines of death and injury. Please become aware of the air you breathe. Measurement is education. Measure your air accurately when measuring carbon monoxide. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

“Not only the entire ability to think rests on language... but language is also the crux of the misunderstanding of reason with itself.”
Johann Georg Hamann (1730-1788, bio link)
Small fires burning in a relatively small but occupiable enclosed space require oxygen from the air to combust. As the fire consumes the oxygen from the air at a demanding rate beyond the “made up” or replaced air entering back into the space, the generation of carbon monoxide accelerates as a result of incomplete combustion.
A small but occupiable space may describe shelters from the size of small camping tents, caravans, motor homes, camping trailers, ice fishing shelters, small apartments, inside automobiles and trucks. Small fires can be as small as a gas camp stove or lantern and include gas, oil, coal, bagasse, or wood heaters or cooking systems. That small fire may be somewhere in an appliance and you may not even know it is there, like in a gas refrigerator found in your vacation vehicle, trailer or remote cabin.
Small is also a relative word; relative that is to the size of the fire, the amount of air available for the fire with people in the size of the space, and, perhaps the number of fires occurring within that space. Large homes and buildings may have many fires occurring within it simultaneously for various lengths of time.
In that North American neighborhood, a person may get up on a winter morning and first engage the gas furnace to begin heating by turning the overnight setting to a warmer temperature, starting fire # 1. They then head to the kitchen and turn on the gas baking oven to pre-heat it for baking bread and start one stove top burner for the kettle. While these routines were conducted, another person in the home stepped into a hot shower, that eventually causes the water heater to ignite. We have successfully witnessed the start of 4 fires and we haven’t started the gas clothes dryer yet, lit the decorative fireplace or opened the garage door so we could warm the car up before leaving for the day, adding three more.
These fires need air. Some or all of these systems may have a small pilot light or two or three that are always burning at the ready, inside our homes or shelters. Some of these systems may be producing harmful levels of carbon monoxide when they operate. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm wherever you may be exposed to it, including small spaces.
And please do not warm your vehicles up inside your attached or enclosed garages. If you measured the air inside that space while you were doing it, you could see for yourself how hazardous and dangerous that is. The car may be warm for the infant now, but without a doubt, harmful, very harmful. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
