What You Need to Know About CO

What is CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely,

or are exposed to heat (usually ﬁre). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated,

or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy ecient.

“Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherprooﬁng can “trap” CO inside.

Symptoms of CO Poisoning

The following symptoms may be related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with

ALL members of the household:

Mild exposure: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often described as “ﬂu”-like symptoms;

Medium Exposure: Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting;

Extreme Exposure: : unconsciousness, brain damage, death.

Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well,

they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance.

IMPORTANT: This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are

extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long

period of time. The CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in

average, healthy adults. Why is this important? Because you need to be warned of a potential

CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims

may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become disoriented and can no longer

react well enough to exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be

the ﬁrst aected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO

Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies,

pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely aected by CO. If

you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

Finding the Source of CO After an Alarm

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it dicult to locate the source of

CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it dicult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be dicult to locate the source of CO.

BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.
