CAN YOUR HOME KILL YOU?
Both women were sick - feeling flu-like symptoms that wouldn't go away. An alert repairman discovered they had a CO leak. Both women were immediately transported to the hospital - a lucky ending for them. These gals attend our church and we rejoiced at their recovery.
Carbon Monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion of a fuel. It prevents the absorption of oxygen into the bloodstream. Sources of CO are fuel-burning furnaces, boilers, water heaters, fireplaces, gas ranges and ovens to name a few. It is odorless, colorless, tasteless, mixes well in the air and is poisonous.
Health effects may consist of fatigue in healthy people and chest pain in people with heart disease at low concentration. At higher concentrations, impaired vision and coordination; headaches; dizziness; confusion; nausea. CO can cause flu-like symptoms that clear up after leaving home and be fatal at very high concentrations.
Reduce Your Exposure
- Keep gas appliances properly adjusted.
- Consider purchasing a vented space heater when replacing an unvented one.
- Use proper fuel in kerosene space heaters.
- Install and use an exhaust fan vented to outdoors over gas stoves.
- Open flues when fireplaces are in use.
- Choose properly sized wood stoves that are certified to meet EPA emission standards. Make certain that doors on all wood stoves fit tightly.
- Have a trained professional inspect, clean, and tune-up central heating system (furnaces, flues, and chimneys) annually. Repair any leaks promptly.
- Do not idle the car inside garage.
