What will you be doing today?
Who will be responsible for the air you breathe?
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.
Help prevent injuries and deaths; don’t guess about carbon monoxide.
Measure carbon monoxide for safety and knowledge. The more you test the more you learn. Measurement is continuing education at its best. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

You Have Carbon Monoxide in Your Blood—But Not As Much As an Elephant Seal Does
Smithsonian
Elephant seals and heavy human smokers turn out to have a surprising commonality: they both have very high levels of dissolved carbon monoxide in our blood ... All of us have carbon monoxide in our blood. Our bodies produce it when hemoglobin in blood cells breaks down. People who smoke have elevated levels, though. And in this, they have something in common with elephant seals.
Preventing carbon monoxide poisoning on your boat
Fenton Tri County Times
Gas-powered boat engines produce carbon monoxide, or CO, a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that can prove fatal to humans… No one gets on a boat expecting to be poisoned by CO. But CO can build up on a boat rather quickly, and because it has no color, odor or taste, boaters and their passengers may be inhaling CO without knowing it…

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.
