Exposure to Carbon Monoxide (CO) can cause sudden loss of consciousness and death. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. People who are sleeping or who have been drinking alcohol can die from CO poisoning before having other symptoms.<p> <img src="images/PSA-4.jpg" alt="" width="112" height="98" border="0" align="right"><b>To Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:</b><p> <ul> <li> <b>Install</b> at least one battery-operated low level CO detector (UL2034 approved) on each level of your home. Install and maintain in accordance with the manufacturers recommendation. Replace the battery when you change the clocks and replace the detector every 5 years.</li> <li> <b>Have</b> your heating system, water heater and any other gas, oil, or coal burning appliances inspected & serviced by a qualified technician every year.</li> <li> <b>Do not</b> use a generator, charcoal grill, camp stove, or other gasoline or charcoal-burning device inside your home, basement, or garage or near a window.</li> <li> <b>Do not</b> run a car or truck inside a garage attached to your house, even if you leave the door open.</li> <li> <b>Do not</b> burn anything in a stove or fireplace that isn't vented.</li> <li> <b>Do not</b> heat your house with a gas oven.</li> </ul> If your detector sounds or you suspect CO poisoning, leave the home and call 911 from a neighbor's house. Firefighters are trained and equipped to provide medical aid to you as well as use specialized equipment to check your house for the presence of carbon monoxide. <p> If you would like additional information, please contact the South Jordan Fire Department at 254-0948. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
