Important Carbon Monoxide Information
Carbon monoxide is DEADLY in a closed environment. Early signs of
Carbon Monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness,
or nausea. If you have any of these signs, GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY,
whether the meter has a high reading or not.
Carbon Monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless gas, is produced in dangerous levels
from internal combustion engines (in enclosed areas) such as automobiles, lawnmowers, and
any other small engine appliance. Gas, oil, and kerosene appliances that are not properly
maintained will also produce this deadly gas. In the house, plugged chimneys, dirty flues, gas
heaters, fireplaces, and furnaces are also capable of producing quantities of this silent killer. If
high readings are found, immediately open a window and ventilate the room, if possible shut
off the appliance, evacuate the area, and call your gas supplier or a qualified technician for
analysis of the problem and service.
US Department of Labor, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regula-
tion 1917.24: The CO content in any enclosed space shall be maintained at not more than 50
PPM (0.005%). Remove employees from enclosed space if the CO concentration exceeds
100 PPM (0.01%).
