This question gets asked a lot, you may have noticed that.
One symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning is nausea. Painful stomach discomfort in its’ many forms often gets blamed on food poisoning, or “something I ate”.
A blast of a high concentration of CO from a barbeque, the warming fires under the hot food trays in a smorgasbord line at a banquet or conference, or even poor kitchen ventilation at that favorite restaurant can result in nausea and suspected food poisoning. You can easily be poisoned by an unvented and poorly combusting gas cooking system in your own home.
Nausea is a warning signal by the body, a compounding violent reaction. Do you know how much carbon monoxide you’ve inhaled today? If you have a non-digital carbon monoxide alarm that meets the current U.L. Standard in the United States, the CSA Standard in Canada or the European Standard, there is a very good chance that you may get a symptom of nausea or headache before those alarms sound off. Is that what you want? Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
Who is responsible for the air you breathe? Take control inside your homes.
The lowest U.L. 2034 & CSA 6.19 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
Consider low level protection for carbon monoxide and smoldering fire detection problems; don't leave anyone behind.
