“When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'” Sydney J. Harris (1917-1986, bio link)
Do not take risks with carbon monoxide. Take responsibility for the air you breathe and the combustion systems you are responsible for. If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for others.
If you live in a home where there is a combustion gas source and you do not have a carbon monoxide alarm, you are taking a risk for yourself and for others. Get one, it is not foolish.
If you are less than healthy or recognize the hazards of chronic exposure to low CO levels, get better protection. Find and get a low level carbon monoxide alarm, one that notifies you audibly and visually with concentration notifications when levels are just beginning to accumulate in the air you are in. If you are having difficulty finding low level protection, contact COSA through http://www.cosafety.org/
Combustion systems like furnaces, boilers, cooking systems, fireplaces, space heaters and domestic water heaters can be installed to operate with minimal carbon monoxide production and to safely vent the products of combustion out of the breathable air. If you do not have your appliances tested and adjusted for minimal CO generation and safe combustion gas exhausting, you are taking a risk.
Boats, motorcycles, lawn mowers, garden tractors and tillers, go-carts, jet skis, motor home and caravan gas appliances, liquid fueled generators, “4 wheelers”, camp fires, and many other sources of combustion gasses can all be responsible for the death or injury of someone by carbon monoxide if they or someone else is not careful. This is the “SILENT KILLER", THE INVISIBLE AND DEADLY DEMON OF DEATH that can ruin your day and the rest of your life.

Who is responsible for the air you breathe?
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.
