Carbon monoxide is a hazardous colorless and odorless gas that is produced by burning fuel such as gasoline, wood, paper, natural gas, or kerosene. If inhaled, it may cause serious health problems, including brain damage, and in severe situations can be fatal. It is estimated that each year carbon monoxide poisoning kills nearly 5,000 people in the United States and injures nearly 10,000.
Some of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning or exposure include headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, difficulty breathing, memory loss, vision impairment, coordination difficulties, low blood pressure, hypothermia, angina, coma, and respiratory failure.
Unfortunately, many symptoms associated with carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to other common illnesses, such as food poisoning and the flu, and therefore many victims are misdiagnosed. Many people are unaware that they have been exposed to carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide comes from a variety of sources, including kitchen appliances, fireplaces, wood stoves, camping stoves, gas stoves, hot water heaters, furnaces, barbeque grills, indoor heating systems, and the exhaust from cars, trucks, boats, recreational vehicles, lawn mowers, and snow blowers. Many employees such as welders, firefighters, and mechanics come into contact with the chemical at their places of work.
