The Neighborhood Safety Network
This weeks Neighborhood Safety Network tip is entitled: The Dangers of Carbon Monoxide!

The Invisible Killer

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. You can’t taste, see or smell CO, but it can kill in just minutes. Appliances fueled with natural gas, liquefied petroleum (LP gas), oil, kerosene, coal, or wood may produce CO. Burning charcoal also produces CO.

Never Use a Generator or Burn Charcoal inside the Home

For 2002-2004, an average of 166 people in the United States died from unintentional, non-fire CO poisoning. Some died from CO produced by fuel-burning appliances (furnaces, ranges, water heaters, room heaters). Others died from CO produced while burning charcoal or running a gas powered generator inside the home or garage. Several thousand people went to hospital emergency rooms for treatment for CO poisoning.

All Homes Should have CO Alarms

Every home should have a CO alarm in the hallway near the bedroom(s) in each separate sleeping area. CO alarms should be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure you install battery operated or plug-in CO alarms that have battery back-up.
