The following conditions can result in potentially dangerous CO situations.
• Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused by outdoor
conditions, such as
o Wind direction and/or velocity: including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent
pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
o Negative pressure differential resulting from use of exhaust fans.
o Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for limited
internal air.
o Vibrating loose vent pipe connections from furnaces or water heaters.
o Obstructions in, or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above
situations.
o Extended use of unvented fuel burning devices.
o Temperature increase that can trap exhaust gases near the ground.
Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed with users of
the trailer.
o Mild Exposure - Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like”
symptoms),
o Medium Exposure - Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart
rate.
o Extreme Exposure - Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.
