Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
http://www.carbonmonoxidekills.com/are-you-at-risk/carbon-monoxide-poisoning/

(SNIP) ... Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gas (domestic or bottled), coal, oil, coke and wood. Gas stoves, fires, heating boilers, gas-powered water heaters, paraffin heaters, and solid fuel-powered water heaters are all potential sources of carbon monoxide. The problem arises when such appliances are poorly maintained, not serviced and housed in poorly ventilated areas. ---CONTINUED---

THE HIDDEN DANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
http://www.carbonmonoxidekills.com/carbon-monoxide-facts/

Children are thought to be more susceptible to carbon monoxide poisoning than adults. Some people may not suspect that CO poisoning is occurring until major symptoms appear. Carbon Monoxide poisoning can mimic gastroenteritis (nausea and vomiting). Other manifestations may cause the appearance of what may appear to be a neurological or psychiatric disorder. High risk groups include infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and anyone with a previous history of cardiac insufficiency or chronic obstructive lung disease. ---CONTINUED---

Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning After an Emergency
https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/cofacts.html

HIGHLIGHTS

   Generators, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas, or charcoal-burning devices should never be used inside a home, basement, garage, or camper – or even outside near an open window.

   Every home should have at least one working carbon monoxide detector. The detector’s batteries should be checked at least twice annually, at the same time smoke detector batteries are checked.
