1.9 The Hazards of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas.
You cannot see it or smell it. Red blood cells, however, have a greater affinity for
CO than for oxygen. Therefore, exposure even to low levels of CO for a prolonged
period can lead to asphyxiation (lack of oxygen) resulting in death. Mild effects of
CO poisoning include eye irritation, dizziness, headaches, fatigue and the inability to
think clearly. More extreme symptoms include vomiting, seizures and collapse.
Engine-driven generator sets produce harmful levels of carbon monoxide that can
injure or kill you.
What Is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and non-irritating gas.
You cannot see it or smell it. Red blood cells, however, have a greater affinity for
CO than for Oxygen. Therefore, exposure even to low levels of CO for a prolonged
period can lead to asphyxiation (lack of Oxygen) resulting in death. Mild effects of
CO poisoning include eye irritation, dizziness, headaches, fatigue and the inability to
think clearly. More extreme symptoms include vomiting, seizures and collapse.
Special Risks of CO Near the Home
WARNING
Toxic Gases
Carbon monoxide (CO) gas can cause nausea, fainting, or death. Residents
can be exposed to lethal levels of CO when the generator set is running.
Depending on air temperature and wind, CO can accumulate in or near the
home.
To protect yourself and others from the dangers of CO poisoning, it is
recommended that reliable, approved, and operable CO detector alarms are
installed in proper locations in the home as specified by their manufacturer.
Protecting Yourself from CO Poisoning
• Locate the generator set in an area where there are no windows, doors, or
other access points into the home.
• Make sure all CO detectors are installed and working properly.
• Pay attention for signs of CO poisoning.
• Check the exhaust system for corrosion, obstruction, and leaks every time you
start the generator set and every eight hours when you run it continuously.
