Poisoning from carbon monoxide can go undetected though a person may be experiencing the most common of ailments - headaches, tiredness, weakness and flu-like symptoms. If you do not have a low level carbon monoxide alarm and have been experiencing poor health symptoms without relief, and have never been tested for it, you may be experiencing the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Get yourself tested as soon as possible. Have your home, buildings you frequent and the appliances in them tested for lower levels of carbon monoxide. It is your air. Take some responsibility for it.

Note this distraction from carbon monoxide poisoning:
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
