Carbon Monoxide and how it can
aect you and your family.
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous,
poisonous gas that kills hundreds of
people each year and injures many more.
It is often referred to as the silent killer
because it has no odour or taste and
cannot be seen.
Like oxygen, CO enters the body
through the lungs during the normal
breathing process. It competes with
oxygen by replacing it in the red blood
cells, thereby reducing the flow of
oxygen to the heart, brain and other vital
organs. In high concentrations CO can
kill in minutes.
Many cases of reported carbon
monoxide poisoning indicate that
while victims are aware they are not
feeling well, they become disorientated
and unable to save themselves by
either exiting the building or calling
for assistance. Exposure during sleep
is particularly dangerous because the
victim usually does not wake up.
Symptoms of CO poisoning
The following symptoms may be related
to CO poisoning which all household
members should be made aware of:
• Mild Exposure: Slight headache,
nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often
described as ‘flu-like’ symptoms).
• Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing
headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast
heart rate.
• Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness,
convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure,
death.
Your FireAngel CO detector monitors the
level of CO as parts per million (ppm)
in the atmosphere surrounding the
detector.
