Protect Your Family from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon Monoxide Can Be Deadly! You can’t see or smell carbon monoxide, but at high levels it can kill a person in minutes.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced whenever any fuel such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or charcoal is burned. If appliances that burn fuel are maintained and used properly, the amount of CO produced is usually not hazardous. However, if appliances are not working properly or are used incorrectly, dangerous levels of CO can result. Hundreds of people die accidentally every year from CO poisoning caused by malfunctioning or improperly used fuel-burning appliances. Even more die from CO produced by idling cars. Fetuses, infants, elderly people, and people with anemia or with a history of heart or respiratory disease can be especially susceptible. Be safe.

Prevention is the Key to Avoiding Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends these DOs and DON’Ts to keep your family safe:

GE Security Upgrades Its Carbon Monoxide Detector

If you are looking for the very popular 240-COe SafeAir Carbon Monoxide Detector from GE Security, you won’t find it any more. GE Security has discontinued this product. In its place, GE is recommending the 250-CO SafeAir Carbon Monoxide Detector.

The GE SafeAir 250-CO carbon monoxide (CO) detector is an accurate and reliable means of alerting building occupants of potentially dangerous levels of CO in the protected area. The internal electro-chemical sensor communicates with a sophisticated on-board microprocessor that accurately tracks CO levels over time. This commercial-grade detection technology results in quick response, reliable sensing, fast reset time, and superior false alarm immunity. Its small size (much smaller than the 240-COe predecessor) allows the 250-CO to blend inconspicuously with any decor, and its smooth contoured design is compatible with both residential and commercial environments.

Unaffected by normal indoor temperature variations, the GE 250-CO actually self-adjusts for environmental changes and operates reliably under a wide variety of conditions. It also monitors its own performance and automatically compensates for sensitivity drift throughout the course of its service life. More info…

Protect Yourself from CO Poisoning: Using a detector is just one recommendation to protect you and your family from CO Poisoning. Read THIS BLOG we posted last month for some more helpful hints from the U.S. Environment Protection Agency.
