Carbon monoxide safety, we are all in this together.

How much carbon monoxide are you in when in any motor vehicle?
Did you know that many people do not measure the air they live in?
After prevention there is no greater awareness than measurement.

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

Deep sea bacteria could help remove carbon dioxide in organisms
Flemingsburg Gazette
Furthermore, the bacteria can survive extremely hot temperatures. According to the researchers, sequestering is when carbonic anhydrase catalyzes a chemical reaction between carbon dioxide and water and causes the carbon dioxide to interact with the enzyme to create a bicarbonate…
Five Things You Need to Sort Out in Five Years If You Run China
Bloomberg
Nearly one third of the major measurements in the current five-year-plan were related to clean energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, and that trend is likely to continue. Expect energy consumption per unit of GDP and carbon dioxide emissions to both be slashed by more than 16 percent and the introduction of PM 2.5 targets for the first time -- the fine particles in polluted air that are believed to pose the greatest health risks…

How much Americans' incomes could shrink because of global warming

But not all countries will suffer. Russia, Canada and countries in Northern Europe should benefit from warmer temperatures, according to the scientists’ models, because they have yet to reach what the scientists called the optimal average temperature for an economy — 55 degrees Fahrenheit, roughly where the U.S. is now…
Research investigates impact of carbon footprint label
Science Codex
The researchers found that having the carbon footprint on the detergent products had no impact on prices or demand. They suggest that the design of the label meant customers found it difficult to notice, understand and compare carbon footprints or different detergents and therefore did not reward carbon labelled or less carbon intensive products with a price premium or with higher demand…
Preemptive move on emissions shows oil firms are onboard against climate change

These include energy efficiency, greater use of gas and progressing on capturing carbon dioxide emissions… So it is welcome to see Saudi Aramco, Pemex and Reliance on the list, and hopefully other Arabian Gulf, Russian and Chinese state oil corporations will join them soon. But the obvious absentees are the Americans – Chevron and ExxonMobil – that have spoken out against carbon pricing…

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.
