carbon monoxide alarm test point is:
- 70 PPM to 149 PPM – resist one hour, must alarm before 4 hours
Please read the alarm information on the package and in the instructions. Know when your fire department and emergency responders begin wearing their breathing apparatus and what their civilian evacuation levels are for carbon monoxide; it may be before 70 PPM. It is for pregnant women, infants & children, the elderly and all people of vulnerable health. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Is carbon monoxide hard to detect?
There was an article recently circulated that quoted a physician as saying “carbon monoxide is hard to detect.”
My response is “No, carbon monoxide is not hard to detect." But you must have devices that can test for it and respond by sound or digital readings, indicating measurement levels.
For a doctor, the test is to be taken with their patients either by blood draw, breathe analysis or with a pulse CO-oxymeter. When symptoms are presented, respond with measurement, not guesswork.
Measurement is education. Anyone can learn about carbon monoxide. Everyone can “detect” carbon monoxide. Testing and warning systems exist. Get educated, begin testing and measuring for carbon monoxide now. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

EMS: Advances in technology make a difference in EMS care
The Saratogian By MICHAEL CIGNOLI Worthy Replay 05/26/12
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Some of the most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning — headache, dizziness and nausea — are strikingly similar to those of the flu. So similar, Wilton EMS Operations Chief Nash Alexander said, that if a patient didn’t know they had been exposed to the deadly gas, paramedics historically would have treated them for a really bad case of the flu. But relatively new, non-invasive devices called RAD-57 can detect the level of carbon monoxide in a person’s bloodstream in about the time it takes for paramedics to take a victim’s pulse, providing potentially lifesaving readings in a matter of seconds. So similar, Wilton EMS Operations Chief Nash Alexander said, ...

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.”

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
