  1. Inhalation of carbon monoxide can make you sick and even kill you. It is a fate that bells thousands of people every year as they cross paths with this colorless, odorless, tasteless and poisonous gas. Its reputation is chillingly conveyed in its reputation as the silent killer. Approximately 500 people die every year in the US and thousands more undergo medical treatment from exposure carbon monoxide especially in the home. The symptoms that arise from exposure to carbon monoxide depend on the level of exposure suffered by the person. Mild exposures are usually characterized by a headache and the symptoms graduate with the duration and level of exposure to include: Nausea Dizziness Stomach pain Confusion Tiredness Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing Stomach pains Most of the times the symptoms are quite misleading as they can mimic flu or food poisoning with the exception of a high temperature. It is impossible for a human being to detect the presence of carbon monoxide without the aid of special equipment such as a carbon monoxide detector. This is because of its lack of color, odor or taste. Carbon monoxide or CO is produced during the incomplete combustion of anything especially fuels such as oil, gas, wood and coal. These fuels are used in and around the home which is what brings the dangers of carbon monoxide into the confines of your home. It is produced when you use your fireplace, generator, kerosene heater, wood burning appliances. Carbon monoxide acts by invading your bloodstream and attaching itself to hemoglobin. This displaces the oxygen and results in your body pumping blood that is lacking in oxygen. The end result is the death of your body tissue and blood cells. You must ensure that all appliances that burn fuel are installed and used properly. They must also be subject to regular maintenance checks especially when approaching winter. You must ensure that they are well ventilated and avoid the temptation of using outdoor appliances in and around the house or running your vehicle inside the garage attached to the house. The installation of carbon monoxide detectors is a very noble step that ensures the protection of your whole family. You need to do some research on the different types that are available and get the best which must also be a certified version. They also require proper installation and regular checks as well as battery replacements.
  2. The goal of all bodybuilders is the same, to pack some pure muscle. This is made possible by getting a good supply of proteins in your diet. Although your everyday food will contain some protein, it is impossible to digest enough quantities for the needs of your body and workout regime.

  3. In October of 2013, a family of four sadly passed away in yet another incident of carbon monoxide poisoning. The death of the family from Merrillville, Indiana, once again brings to the fore the real danger posed by carbon monoxide. It is also proof that despite various campaigns and information dissemination from all quarters, a good number of people still don’t fully appreciate the potential dangers of burning fuels in poorly ventilated spaces. The four consisted of two parents and their 13 year old son and 11 year old daughter. They had just moved into the place and resorted to using a generator in the attached garage as there was no power in the property. Apparently all the doors and windows were closed and this effectively left them with no chance at all. The husband was a carpenter whereas the wife was an assistant to the dean of education at the Chicago State University. The whole community is still shaken by this needless loss of life. Their daughter had a love for music and writing and it’s sad to know that she won’t be able to realize her dreams. It is perhaps quite important to understand just how carbon monoxide manages to be a killer. What Makes Carbon Monoxide Dangerous? The first thing that makes carbon monoxide dangerous is that it is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. This makes it hard to detect without the use of a proper carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide is also less dense than air and this causes it to rise and spread into ‘all the spaces available. Another dangerous quality is the set of poisoning symptoms that mirror those of a common cold. This makes sustained incidents of mild poisoning quite hard to detect until it’s too late in most of the cases. The last but obviously most deadly quality of them all is what carbon monoxide does to your body. Carbon monoxide is attracted to hemoglobin which it combines with to produce carboxyhemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin then goes on to occupy the space that is normally reserved for oxygen within the hemoglobin. This results in a failure by your blood to transport oxygen to the rest of the body. Organs that have high oxygen usage are the first to succumb leading to death. Know more about the ways in which carbon monoxide can be produced in your home or workplace. Discuss the symptoms with your family and most important of all, buy a carbon monoxide detector. For more information visit http://www.carbonmonoxidekills.com/
