The Silent Sickness

2011-01-03T16:01:00.000-07:00

It's called the "silent sickness," and sometimes it becomes a "silent killer." Carbon monoxide (CO is a common, highly flammable gas that can kill in minutes in high concentrations. Unlike many other chemicals, carbon monoxide has no distinctive odor, taste or appearance. Unfortunately, the symptoms of CO poisoning-nausea, headache, and dizziness-resemble other common illnesses, and can be easily mistaken for a cold or stomach flu.

High Exposure Areas: The gasoline engines used around shipping docks are known carbon monoxide producers. Diesel engines are next in level of danger, followed by propane powered forklifts trucks. We must be particularly careful if forklifts are left running inside a truck or trailer body; hazardous CO concentrations can build up very quickly. Shipping offices above loading and shipping docks are also vulnerable as the gas rises, causing dizziness and nausea for employees working there.

Possible dangers at Home Too: Be alert for symptoms of CO exposure that may be mistaken for the flu. Check for faulty heating systems or chimneys blocked by birds nest or soot accumulations. Unvented gas room heaters or portable kerosene heaters should only be used in well ventilated areas. Never use a charcoal cooker indoors during a power outage.

People are killed every winter from CO entering their car or truck from leaking exhaust systems. If you must sit with the engine idling for long periods to stay warm, keep a window partially open to allow fresh air to filter in. On long trips, open a window or wing vent slightly to prevent an accumulation of CO.

Symptoms to be alert for are red eyes, weakness, dizziness, headaches and nausea. If you suspect CO may be present, get out of the area immediately. If possible, open a window and doors to let in fresh air. Turn off any devices that you think may be causing the problem and do not go back until the area has been determined to be safe.

Remember, you can't smell or see carbon monoxide, but it can kill you just the same.
