CARBON MONOXIDE NEWS
Carbon Monoxide is Everybody's Business
 DANGER! Carbon monoxide is fast becoming a leading killer among people of all ages. It is everybody's business to know how to detect CO, and prevent it from entering the home or workplace.
The following articles are from leading news and government agencies that will hopefully make you more aware of carbon monoxide, and how to protect yourself, your family, and co-workers from the dangers of CO.
Please visit “The Training Room” to learn exactly what is carbon monoxide, its sources, and health affects.

Not All CO Detectors Are The Same
Please consider the use of CO Experts Model 2004 for use in your home and building. It has accuracy that is not available in the UL 2034 Listed CO Alarm Detectors that utilize some other sensor technology besides electrochemical or infrared science. Often the inexpensive carbon monoxide alarms do not have the level of accuracy required to protect all people. Individuals with heart and respiratory difficulties, pregnant women, infants and small children may all need better protection. Check out Deadly Silence: CO Detectors Fail to Warn of Gas and CO Alarm Independent Test.
Gasoline Generators Can Be Dangerous!
Tell everyone you know that using gasoline generators inside buildings can be dangerous, deadly and is not a good idea. Though this practice is obviously a hazard to most people, some just don't seem to get it. This includes garages that have doors open, basements, and under porch roofs of attached buildings. Review the archives of the CO News and see how often this type of poisoning accident occurs. Thanks from COSA, Carbon Monoxide Safety Association.
