What Is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
Carbon monoxide, aka “the silent killer,” is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause sudden illness and death. Carbon monoxide is found in fumes produced when burning fuel, such as that used in furnaces, gas ovens, car engines, gas generators, and fireplaces.
Carbon monoxide poisoning happens when the gas builds up in an enclosed space—like your home or garage—and people breathe it in. Everyone is susceptible to carbon monoxide poisoning; however, it can be more severe in people with heart disease or breathing problems, older adults, and infants.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can feel like the sudden onset of the flu, with the following symptoms:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Chest pain
- Fatigue
- Confusion
- Weakness
People can pass out or die from carbon monoxide poisoning before they even realize what’s happening to them, and it can kill people in their sleep. Even people who are lucky enough to recover from it may experience brain injury because of oxygen deprivation.
Prolonged exposure to even small amounts can contribute to amnesia, psychosis, and Parkinson’s disease. According to the CDC, every year, more than 20,000 Americans visit the emergency room for carbon monoxide-related harm, more than 4,000 are hospitalized, and more than 400 die.
How Can I Protect Myself and My Family from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
Most homeowners and property managers must maintain working carbon monoxide detectors inside residential spaces. It is also wise to install a battery backup, just in case.
Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency recommends the following to decrease the risk of carbon monoxide exposure:
- Keep gas appliances maintained and adjusted properly.
- Use an exhaust fan vented to the outdoors over a gas stove.
- Open flues when using fireplaces.
- Have a certified professional inspect and tune up your central heating system every year.
- Do not leave your car idling inside your garage.
It is not just your responsibility to safeguard against carbon monoxide poisoning. Other parties, such as landlords, property owners, and product manufacturers, also owe certain people a duty of care.
