Carbon Monoxide Survivor- Views from those who have been poisoned.
The quality of combustion is dependent upon and rated against the quality of the fuel and its potential to provide energy cleanly, without CO production under perfect conditions. Wood is used in less than ideal conditions for complete burning of the fuel in campfires and some fireplaces & cooking systems for example,. Therefore, smoke and CO are produced. If the wood has been treated chemically to resist rotting and then burned, the chemical reaction induced by the fire generates additional toxins.
Breathing wood smoke is unhealthy for anyone. Don’t add to the hazard. Don’t burn your daily garbage in your small home fires; it smells up the neighborhood and sickens people. 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.”

Bald Eagle Camera Alcoa Bald Eagle Camera, Davenport, Iowa.
NOTE: Another camera is in operation from a lower angle.
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. 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.The lowest U.L. 2034 & CSA 6.19 carbon monoxide alarm test point is:

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
