According to the U.S. Fire Administration, each year more than 150 Americans die from non-fire related carbon monoxide poisoning associated with faulty consumer products. What do we mean when we say “consumer products”, we mean common things in your home like furnaces, water heaters and stoves. These are appliances that the majority of people have in their home but without proper maintenance these products can release deadly poisonous gas that is undetectable.
One of the dangers of Carbon Monoxide is that you cannot see, taste or smell it, hence the ‘nickname’ the “Invisible Killer”. Fortunately, there is a way to protect ourselves from this killer with a carbon monoxide detector. Installed correctly these monitors can solve the problem of not being able to detect the poisonous gas and gives your family a fighting chance.
Order you Carbon Monoxide detector now!
The signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can be commonly mistaken for other illnesses, including a common cold or stomach bug. Usually the symptoms are gradual and could be overlooked by parents and doctors. A carbon monoxide detector can alert you if there are any problems in your home. If you are without a detector, the symptoms to look for include:
· headache
· nausea and vomiting
· vertigo
· altering states of consciousness
· weakness
· uncoordinated movements in children
If you believe that you could be suffering from Carbon Monoxide poisoning please leave your home and call 911.
There are ways to prevent a carbon monoxide leak. Just as any type of equipment the better maintained your furnace, water heaters and stoves are the better they will function.
