Daily News Links Are Below These Opening Questions And Warnings
How much carbon monoxide are you in when in any motor vehicle?
Did you know that many people do not measure the air they breathe.
Did you know that many people do not measure the air they breathe.
After prevention there is no greater awareness than measurement.
Awareness leads to quick thinking. Measurement leads to quick action.
Are you in the know?
Do I know enough about carbon monoxide and carbon monoxide poisoning to justify never knowing how much is in the air I breathe every day, everywhere I go?”
There are some people who want to be notified of the presence of carbon monoxide at levels or concentrations as soon as the gas is present, at concentrations well below those that can instigate poor health symptoms but not be high enough levels to sound the CO alarm they own.
There are some people who do not want to push a button on their CO alarm to see what low, aggravating levels of the poison might be in their home, or anywhere.
The most recommended CO Alarm in U.S. is a high level alarm

Boise Rescue Mission: A shelter is safer than sleeping in your car
KTVB.com
BOISE - Police continue to investigate after a car erupted into flames in the parking lot of a Boise Walmart early Tuesday morning. A 5-year-old girl died in the fire and two other people in the car were sent to the hospital. - Investigators say there was a portable space heater in the car, and was likely the cause of the fire. The car was parked in an area of the Walmart parking lot that is a popular homeless area and a place for travelers to park and sleep. - "Sleeping in your car is dangerous," said Lockhart. "People think because they lock the doors it's safe but it's not necessarily. Obviously there was a fire, there's carbon monoxide if you're running your car in a small space, people can get in even if it's locked. It's not safe for children, it's not safe for people, and it's not safe for pets."…

Furniture flame retardants in focus
Chemical Watch
The impact of flame retardants (FRs) on the environment and human health has had a high profile for decades because of their persistence, bioaccumulative, carcinogenic and suspected endocrine disrupting properties. An additional concern that has gained prominence recently has been their capacity to kill and injure through toxic smoke, mainly generated by emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide. - "We have been advising our members as a matter of policy for the last three years that they should avoid using FRs mainly because of concerns about their environmental and health effects," says Roberta Dessi, secretary general of the European Furniture Industries Confederation (Efic). - "Now research has highlighted the dangers of toxic smoke from FRs. We had assumed that fire safety was increased with these substances. This is an important additional danger."

Please Note: "Place a carbon monoxide alarm with a digital display on a seat in the motor vehicle when you are out driving in emergency snow conditions (or always for that specific). Harmful levels of carbon monoxide (CO) can penetrate inside a motor vehicle just due to prevailing winds and exhaust not moving away from the vehicle but under it. If you want to learn more about carbon monoxide, begin measuring it with a personal CO monitor everywhere you go." Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

With respect, please visit: Carbon Monoxide Survivor
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
Measurement is continuing education at its best. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety

Northern China ozone pollution getting worse: study
Reuters
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Concentrations of hazardous ground-level ozone have worsened in northern China despite country-wide efforts to tackle air pollution, according to a study published by Peking University on Tuesday. - Stringent winter restrictions on industry, transportation and coal consumption enabled smog-prone northern Chinese regions to meet politically crucial air quality targets for the 2013-2017 period. - But while concentrations of hazardous airborne particles known as PM2.5 fell, average daytime ozone levels jumped sharply… - Also known as “sunburn for the lungs”, ozone is caused by the interaction of sunlight with nitrogen oxides and the vast amounts of uncontrolled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by burning fossil fuels. Traffic congestion is a major cause. - Ozone is one of six components of China’s official air quality index, along with sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, PM2.5 and larger airborne particles known as PM10…
Berkeley Lab first to measure methane's greenhouse effect in the field
Daily Californian
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists determined that increased levels of methane in the atmosphere cause an increase in the greenhouse gas effect — a discovery that has never been made before in the field. - The greenhouse effect is when the sun’s warmth is trapped by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Geoscience on April 2, utilized the instruments and data at the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement, or ARM, Southern Great Plains central facility. The researchers used a spectrometer, which measures light at different wavelengths, to measure methane’s greenhouse effect…

A Grass-Roots Movement For Healthy Soil Spreads Among Farmers
NPR
It's driven in part by concern over global warming. Tilling and draining soil have released enormous amounts of carbon dioxide over the years. Regenerative farming puts some of that carbon back in the ground, slowing global warming. - For years, talk of "healthy soil" was mostly limited to organic farmers and others on the fringes of mainstream American agriculture. No more. Articles about soil health fill major farm publications. It's the subject of several recent books. Big food companies are on board, and some of them are discussing a new eco-label for food, alongside "organic" and "fair trade," that would reward farmers for adopting practices the build healthy soil — what many are calling "regenerative agriculture." - It's also provoked lots of debate. Some farmers have made claims of dramatic success that others have called unrealistic. There's no universally accepted measure of soil health, nor a clear definition of regenerative farming.
