Here's the rule of thumb: Your generator should be at least 10 feet from the opening to any building. Do not run it inside your house or garage, even if you have doors and windows open. If you live in a multi-unit building, don't run it on your balcony — it's too close to your living areas and to your neighbors' homes… Never run a generator on grass, or on a metal surface…
Why Cigarettes Labeled 'Natural' Or 'Additive-Free' May Be Misleading, According To The FDA
Medical Daily
The negative health effects of habitual cigarette smoking is fairly well-known in America. Tobacco manufacturers have tried to combat this by labeling their products with health-friendly buzz words, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has officially called them out. Specifically, three companies have received warning letters from the FDA regarding false advertisements that claim their tobacco products were “additive-free” and “natural.”

We have all been CO poisoned, some more than others
The following link takes you to a site with views from those who have been poisoned. The seriousness of carbon monoxide poisoning, the grief, suffering and disorientations experienced are clearly portrayed with the intent to help others and prevent future poisonings. With respect, please visit:
What is in the air you are breathing right now?
What will you be doing today; walking into poison?
Who will be responsible for the air you breathe?
You may be the only person who can prevent your own poisoning.
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.
Please read the alarm information on the package and in the instructions that come with the carbon monoxide alarm. Know that if it is a U.L. 2034 Listed product (or CSA 6.19 Listed), it is a high level alarm that has been tested to alarm no sooner than 70 PPM at the lowest (the alarm must resist for one hour when above this level) and when over 400 PPM before 15 minutes at the highest concentration, after resisting alarming for 4 minutes when over this level.
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 as soon as the gas is present in your presence. Pregnant women, infants & children, people with heart & respiratory struggles, those suffering depression or chronic headaches and all people of vulnerable health should be alerted as soon as the gas begins to concentrate, around 10 PPM (parts per million) or lower.
You most likely need a low level carbon monoxide detector to sound off when carbon monoxide hazards are just beginning, not after you’ve been exposed to levels that make you have headaches, flu-like symptoms, increased tiredness, heart stresses or worse.
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, unless you think $45.00, high level protection is good enough.
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. GET BUSY

Experiment aims to steep rainforest in carbon dioxide
NATURE
In an atmosphere of elevated CO2, not only do plants grow faster, but also their stomata (tiny openings on their leaves) do not need to open as widely or for as long. This means that less water escapes through transpiration, which makes plants better able to withstand heat and drought. The net result is that, at least in climate models, the extent of CO2 fertilization largely determines the Amazon’s resilience to global warming…
Compressed natural gas use up in Metro East
Alton Telegraph
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is giving gasoline a run for its money in the St. Louis area, where CNG stations have popped up in recent years and where brewing giant Anheuser-Busch recently converted to the alternative fuel… Anheuser-Busch replaced its entire fleet of 97 diesel-fueled tractors to CNG-powered trucks, saying it expects to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2,500 tons per year…
Train crossings source of increasing pollution
The Coloradoan
More trains and longer delays for drivers waiting for those trains adds up to more than just increased frustration — it also means additional pollutants… Since 2007, the number of trains rumbling along Fort Collins’ 50 railroad crossings and the length of wait times at those crossing has more than doubled… Despite signs encouraging motorists to kill their engines while waiting, Fort Collins is seeing about as much success moving the pollution needle as relieving the frustration gauge…
Controlling greenhouse gases besides CO2 could make quick progress on global warming
Alaska Dispatch News
In this drumbeat of bad news, however, there is a counterpoint of hope — a strategy that can help slow warming in Alaska and the Arctic enough to avoid some of the worst impacts. The strategy is to reduce the often overlooked “short-lived” climate pollutants, which include black carbon soot, methane, tropospheric, or ground-level, ozone, and hydrofluorocarbons, used primarily as refrigerants. These climate pollutants are responsible for between 40-45 percent of global warming, with carbon dioxide responsible for the other 55-60 percent…

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.
