Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: The Silent Killer
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide gas is inhaled. CO is a colorless, odorless, highly poisonous gas that is produced by incomplete combustion. It is found in automobile exhaust fumes, faulty stoves and heating systems, fires, and cigarette smoke.

Other sources include woodburning stoves, kerosene heaters, improperly ventilated water headers and gas stoves, and blocked or poorly maintained chimney flues. CO interferes with the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. The result is headache, nausea, convulsions, and finally death by asphyxiation.

About Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
1) Unlike many gases, it is odourless, colourless, tasteless and non-irritating. Red blood cells absorb the gas over 200 times more readily than oxygen.

2) As levels of carbon monoxide in the air rise, this gas replaces oxygen in the bloodstream. As a result, body tissues are damaged and may die of a lack of oxygen.

3) The most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are respiratory difficulties and impairing of visual perception.

4) Have a reliable mechanic check the exhaust system of your car once a year to check for leaks and damaged pipes. Have the system checked if the sound of the exhaust is suddenly different or if you hear any funny noises.

5) When driving in heavy traffic it is also advisable to have a slight opening in the windows, especially with the air-conditioning on. Do this when you are caught in heavy traffic or when the car is stationary for long hours.

6) If you park your car in a closed garage, carbon monoxide can rapidly build up while your engine is running with the garage doors closed. Never run your car in a garage unless the outside door is open to provide ventilation.

7) Have your vehicle regularly tuned to ensure that there is proper combustion in the engine. This will reduce the level of carbon monoxide emissions.

8) If the car has a catalytic converter, make sure it is in proper working condition. Removing the catalytic converter can also increase carbon monoxide levels.
