Link to: CO alarm standards – know when you are protected
“There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.” Indira Gandhi (1917-1984, bio link)
Everyone on planet earth can die from carbon monoxide poisoning. Everyone can get sick from breathing in combustion gasses. Combustion gasses are fouling our air, the air we breathe, but it drives the world economy, and we have payments to make.
Carbon monoxide is very deadly in high concentrations and very deadly at low concentrations for some when inhaled for sustained periods of time. It doesn’t matter who you call your god or your government or political party, they cannot save you from this poison if you do not have protection that alerts you of its presence. Combustion must be contained, carbon monoxide must be controlled.
Measure the air you are in, find out what you are breathing. Do you have to ask what is acceptable when you or others are sick from the levels you experience? You should start measuring carbon monoxide accurately, today. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

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
