What is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
Carbon monoxide is produced by various fuel-burning products and engines, resulting from the incomplete combustion of organic matter.
When there is insufficient oxygen supply to enable complete oxidation to carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide is released. If the gas builds up within an enclosed space, it may pose life-threatening risks for humans.
Because carbon monoxide has no smell, color or odor, it is very difficult to detect and often results in exposure for extended periods of time.
This is especially likely if an individual is sleeping or fails to leave the area after experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, such as:
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Light-Headedness
- Other Flu-Like Symptoms

Even short-term exposure to the gas can cause acute carbon monoxide poisoning, potentially resulting severe and life-long injury, such as:
- Brain Damage
- Respiratory Failure
- Heart Attacks or Cardiac Arrest
- Sensory or Motor Impairment
- Personality Changes and Depression
- Chronic Migraines, Hearing Loss or Vision Loss
