Dangers of Carbon Monoxide

Play it Safe

If you experience symptoms that you think could be from CO poisoning:

- DO GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. Open doors and windows, turn off combustion appliances and leave the house.
- DO GO TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM and tell the physician you suspect CO poisoning. If CO poisoning has occurred, if can often be diagnosed by a blood test done soon after exposure.
- DO be prepared to answer the following questions for the doctor:

  • Do your symptoms occur only in the house?
  • Is anyone else in your household complaining of similar symptoms?
  • Are your using any fuel burning appliances in the home?
  • Has anyone inspected you appliances lately? Are you certain they are working properly?
