1.8 The Hazards of Carbon Monoxide
Engine-driven generators can produce harmful levels of carbon monoxide that can injure or kill
you.
1.8.1 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.
1.8.2 What Are the Special Risks of CO Near the Home?
Residents can be exposed to lethal levels of CO when the genset 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 and approved CO detector alarms be installed in the home.
WARNING: Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas can cause nausea, fainting or death.
