Known as the invisible killer, carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas that kills over 150 people each year. It is estimated that the toxic gas results in more than 20,000 visits to the E.R. each year. Carbon monoxide is inhaled through the lungs and interferes with the body’s ability to supply oxygen to the brain and other organs. Given that it is odorless, you may not even be aware that you have been exposed.
If you are not aware of the symptoms of CM, exposure can be deadly. Symptoms may be easily overlooked and often mimic the flu. Exposure can be deadly. Whether the result of defective, improperly used, or incorrectly vented fuel-burning appliances such as a hot water heater, gas stove, a generator, or fireplace.
