Why is Carbon Monoxide so Dangerous?
Carbon monoxide could be a big deal, so it’s not something to mess around with.
1. You Can’t Smell It
Carbon monoxide is hazardous because you cannot see it, sense it with your nose or taste it. It doesn’t cause irritation in small doses and can’t be filtrated.
2. It Can Be Deadly Within Minutes
Carbon monoxide is a result of used fuel. It can get into your home during cold weather if the heat exchanger on your gas furnace fails. While it depends on how large the leak is and the circulation in a home, carbon monoxide could become lethal in only a few minutes.
Once taken in, carbon monoxide has a half-life of approximately five hours. If you are inhaling clean air, it will take five hours to remove it from your body. It requires an extra five hours to reduce that amount by half.
3. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Can Act Like Other Illnesses
Carbon monoxide could also mirror symptoms that can be confused with the flu, viral infections and chronic fatigue syndrome, among other illnesses.
How to Protect Your Home from Carbon Monoxide
There’s no point to risk carbon monoxide poisoning.
Here are some steps you can take to keep your home safe:
- Each house with at least one fuel-burning appliance, adjoined garage or fireplace requires a carbon monoxide system.
