Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Safety Measures
A major share of poisoning deaths in US is caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. Unlike other poisonous gases, carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless and colorless. So that makes it even harder to detect its presence. When you inhale carbon monoxide, it will combine with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin causing decreased levels of oxygen in blood leading to death. In your home, anything which undergoes incomplete combustion can produce carbon monoxide. It can be your oven, cloth dryers, furnace, water heaters or any other electronic device. So it is very important to install a carbon monoxide detector alarm in your home. It will detect any harmful levels of carbon monoxide and warn you instantly.
