The Life-Threatening Dangers of Carbon Monoxide
Understanding Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be produced by fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, water heaters, and gas stoves. It is a byproduct of incomplete combustion and can pose serious health risks if not detected and resolved promptly.
The Importance of Carbon Monoxide Awareness
Being aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide is crucial for the safety of your home and family. Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and even unconsciousness. Extended exposure or high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal.
