Carbon Monoxide, The Deadly Killer
There is a distinct difference between a CO alarm & a LOW LEVEL CO Monitor.
YOU WANT A LOW LEVEL MONITOR to know if CO is affecting you at levels below that detected by a less expensive alarm; LOW LEVEL CO Exposure is the most common IAG misdiagnosis in our country today; often called fatigue, flu-symptoms or general malaise.
Make sure you are aware of how to avoid Carbon Monoxide (CO) in your home. Any fuel-burning appliance that is malfunctioning or improperly installed or not inspected and maintained can be a source of CO. These can include a gas range/stove, furnaces, gas clothes dryer, water heater, gas or wood fireplaces, wood-burning stove and the auto exhaust from an attached garage.
Commonly misdiagnosed, Initial symptoms are similar to the flu with no fever. Dizziness, fatigue/weakness, throbbing headache, nausea, vomiting, irregular breathing, sleepiness, and confusion can all be possible symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure.
LOW LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE CAN HAVE SERIOUS HEALTH EFFECTS.
20 parts per million (PPM) exposure can have serious health affects; many alarms with not alert you until you are exposed to 70PPM for over an hour!!! By then it too late, you will already be affected by carbon monoxide.
