One of the news links
today describes the discovery of threatening levels of
carbon monoxide and poisoning victims when emergency responders began measuring
CO upon entry into buildings to aid the distressed, and discover the nature of
the emergency. There are many emergency responders who are not measuring for
carbon monoxide when entering buildings. It would be helpful if they did. This
news story and the others that have been reported recently establishes that
fact. Measurement is education; measurement saves lives.
Please support efforts
in your community to make sure fire department and associated
emergency responders, including police officers are fitted with personal CO
monitors. It will help find people who are unknowingly being poisoned and it
will help protect the responder. Everyone shares some responsibility with regards to carbon monoxide safety. The best practice for all is to begin air protection and awareness for levels of CO above 5 parts per million, with an audible alarm and a visual display generic to assisting the hearing and sight impaired as well as those unimpaired. Those in service of heating and air controlling systems should be as protected as the emergency responders. What about you; how well are you protected? Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Increased education, awareness can prevent carbon monoxide poisoning
Minnesota Department of Commerce
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.”

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. Two eggs in the nest. UPDATE: Hatching has begun. Fresh caught fish, rodents and other game animals will be brought to 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
