Carbon Monoxide Survivor- Views from those who have been poisoned.
My father once told me that many people seem to have a tendency to regard history with a sense that several thousand years are like pages in a book, neat, concise, easily observed and understood in a brief reading or discussion.
This is especially so when we talk about current levels of carbon dioxide reaching 400 PPM for the first time in 3 to 5 million years. This wasn’t just a few grandmother’s ago. When my grandmother was born in the 1880’s, the world’s CO2 levels were around 100 PPM less than they are today. We are on a fast track adding fuel to the fire.
The first infra-red technology, carbon dioxide measuring instrument I purchased was in 1990 for $380.00. I purchased it for use in conducting energy audits where we were tightening up homes and comparing blower door tightness requirements to occupancy CO2 levels. The outdoor measurements were 350 PPM of CO2. I have measured carbon dioxide on just about every training & business trip I have been on during that time. I have watched the levels rise, but I have also watched metropolitan areas increase in size and noted the increase in combustion gas output.
I currently have four instruments that measure CO2. Over 400 PPM of CO 2 is measureable in our outside air. I hope that if you begin measuring this gas outside as well as for your own education or business purposes inside, that the levels you do measure outside begin to reduce before too long. But, we are an economically driven culture of combustion. 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.”
