Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention: Protect Your Home and Family
Carbon monoxide (CO) is often called the “invisible killer” because it is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas that cannot be detected by human senses. Without a properly installed carbon monoxide alarm, dangerous levels of CO can build up without warning.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur when fuel-burning appliances or equipment—such as furnaces, heaters, fireplaces, or generators—are not working or vented properly.
How to Protect Your Family from Carbon Monoxide
Taking a few preventive steps can help reduce the risk of carbon monoxide exposure:
Install carbon monoxide alarms to provide early warning of dangerous CO levels.
Place CO alarms outside sleeping areas and on every level of your home.
Test and maintain your CO alarms regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Use portable generators outdoors and away from doors, windows, and vents.
Keep vents for furnaces, dryers, stoves, and fireplaces clear of snow, leaves, and other debris.
Have fuel-burning appliances regularly inspected and maintained by qualified professionals.
