    More than 150 people in the U.S. die every year from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning from sources such as furnaces and generators that are not properly ventilated. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that can be fatal if breathed in at high levels. To protect against carbon monoxide dangers, install and maintain CO alarms both inside and outside sleeping areas and on every level of the home, use generators outdoors and away from ventilation, and keep appliance vents clear of debris.

    Monoxide Safety
    Did you know?
    More than 150 people in the U.S. die every year from
    accidental nonfire-related carbon monoxide poisoning.

    Carbon monoxide or CO is a colorless and odorless gas. CO poisoning


    can occur when a fuel-burning appliance or machine, such as a furnace,
    heater or generator, is not working or vented properly. Breathing in CO
    at high levels can be fatal.
    Learn what you can do to protect your family from the dangers of CO.
    oo Install and maintain CO alarms inside your home to provide early
    warning of CO.
    oo Install CO alarms in a central location outside each separate sleeping
    area and on every level of your home.
    oo Use portable generators outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from all
    doors, windows and vents.
    oo Make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of
    snow and other debris.
