We can learn from others mistakes and efforts to prevent poisoning.
“If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
Woody Allen (1935, bio link)
Please read the alarm information on the
package and in the
instructions that come with the unit. 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.
Pregnant women, infants & children, the elderly and all people of
vulnerable health should be alerted as soon as the gas begins to concentrate,
around 10 PPM (parts per million). You may need a better alarm, one that sounds off at low levels, before poor health symptoms begin.
We are all vulnerable to carbon monoxide
exposure and poisoning.
Everyone has been poisoned by CO and will be poisoned again. The degree of the poisoning depends upon allowing yourself to be in a situation where someone else controls the air you breathe and the mechanisms for alarming notification.
We are slaves to combustion in this world. Do you doubt that? Take inventory of the fires around you and how many you start that add to the combustion gasses in the air. Then see how many fires you can live without. From the power plant to the party barbeque, from the automobile to the kettle fire, from the earth to the moon (mars); fire, fire everywhere. Where will our next breathe of air come from? Measurement is education.

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

National Conference of State Legislatures
Carbon Monoxide Detectors State Statutes
Twenty-eight U.S. states have statutes that require carbon monoxide detectors in certain residential buildings. Updated Feb. 2014
Alaska | California | Colorado | Connecticut | Delaware | Florida |
Montana | New Jersey | New Hampshire | New York |
Red Cross - Typhoon Appeal continues in the Philippines. Another please, with hopes of another thank you. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
Red Cross - Disaster Relief 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
Nationally, the Red Cross provides food and shelter to people affected by as many as 70,000 fires annually, or about one fire every eight minutes.
