Remember CO is odorless. However, it can be present within the common everyday “smells” of combustion & exhaust systems. For instance automotive exhaust from a vehicle left running in a garage is an especially dangerous practice and is even more dangerous if the garage is attached to a house, apartment or any building.
People have died or been sickened while keeping their motor vehicles running while talking, sleeping or romantically occupied. Factors that contribute to this type of poisoning are as simple as prevailing winds bringing exhaust into the vehicle or deep snow, mud, ditches and walls restricting the safe exhaust away from the vehicle.
You may be exposed to CO poisoning when you burn charcoal, lamp oil, alcohol or camping gas in an enclosed tent, camper or room. You may also be exposed to CO when there is cigar, cigarette or pipe tobacco smoke. Garbage, leaf, brush or forest fires also can produce sickening to deadly levels of carbon monoxide.
Combustion gas from propane fueled forklifts, floor buffers & power washers can also contain poisonous levels of carbon monoxide. There are a lot of ways to be exposed to carbon monoxide. Make sure you have appropriate protection. 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
