Carbon Monoxide - The Invisible Killer
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=James_Brack]James Brack
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that has no colour, taste or smell. It is totally invisible to the human senses. The only way to detect the gas is with an audible alarm.
It is a natural product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and can be produced by appliances that use gas, wood, oil, coal or other solid fuel. CO gas is potentially fatal and even low-levels of the poison can cause lasting damage to your health.
Here's five steps to improve your safety:
Fit an audible alarm
Have your appliances checked regularly
Don't block ventilation
Know the signs around your appliances
Learn to recognise the symptoms
Reduce the chance of being poisoned by fitting your home with an audible Carbon Monoxide Alarm. CO alarms constantly monitor the home, providing early warning of the deadly gas well before danger levels are reached. The alarms are simple to use and easy to install.
Recognising the early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning will save your life.
The early symptoms are similar to the 'flu'. They can include:
nausea
dizziness
tiredness
headaches
stomach pains
chest pains
If you experience any of these symptoms but feel better when you are outside or away from the appliance, you could be suffering from CO poisoning.
Follow these simple rules to make sure you and your family are protected from the invisible killer at all times.
