Appeal People of the world are asked
again to do what they can to help the people clinging to life as the disaster’s
hell continues in the Philippines. Another please, with hopes of another
thank you. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Relief Illinois - Governor
Quinn declared disaster areas in Champaign, Grundy, LaSalle, Massac, Tazewell,
Washington and Woodford counties originally and added Fayette and
Vermillion to the list. The clean up, the Red Cross, volunteers, churches and
all the good people surface and react as if this was their purpose in life, to
help those who need help, and to safely assist law enforcement, fire
department, utility company, city, county and state authorities as repair
and rebuilding moves forward. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon
Monoxide Safety
Do you know what can generate carbon monoxide? Just
knowing will not protect you; it helps, that’s for sure. Measure carbon
monoxide for safety and knowledge. The
more you test the more you learn.
Measurement is education at its best. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon
Monoxide Safety
When carbon monoxide is
inhaled, it displaces oxygen and sets
a course for various resultant consequences of asphyxia. When oxygen is
displaced and there is food to convert to fuel, it is necessary that oxygen is
available to the process. Since sufficient oxygen is not available due to the
displacement, the “fuel rich” condition triggers the response of nausea and
then can result in dizziness, vomiting and diarrhea and other conditions of
what we call "flu-like symptoms". The body throws out the unprocessed
food and drink.
Even though you may have a CO alarm in your home or building, it may not be enough to avoid the experiences associated with these symptoms if the alarms do not go off until they must when they measure 50 PPM of CO (The European Standard - EN50291 or 70 PPM of CO (U.L. 2034 and CSA 6.19 - United States & Canada) for the time periods they must wait to alarm. The symptoms of nausea can come from exposures to carbon monoxide before these levels are reached. NOTE: EN50291 listed alarms are allowed to alarm if levels are above 30 PPM and remains after 2 hours.
Perhaps people who have these listed and approved alarms do not think of CO as the culprit of their conditions because they are not making a sound to remind them or alert them of the presence of the poison. The avoidance of these symptoms might be another reason to encourage the use of low level CO alarms. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

standards – 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 packageand 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.
