CARBON MONOXIDE
AND HOW IT CAN
AFFECT YOU AND

Carbonmonoxideisadangerous,poisonous
gas that kills hundreds of people each year
and injures many more. It is often referred
toasthesilentkillerbecauseithasnoodour

entersthebodythroughthelungsduringthe
normalbreathingprocess.Itcompeteswith
oxygenbyreplacingitintheredbloodcells,
therebyreducingtheowofoxygentothe
heart, brain and other vital organs. In high
concentrations,COcankillinminutes.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide
poisoning indicate that while victims
are aware they are not feeling well, they
become disorientated and unable to save
themselvesbyeitherexitingthebuildingor
callingforassistance.Exposureduringsleep
isparticularlydangerousbecausethevictim
usuallydoesnotwakeup.
Symptoms of CO poisoning
The following symptoms may be related to

toallowdetectortoslotontoscrews.
To place on a shelf:
Thebaseofthedetectorhasbeendesigned
toallowittostandfreelyonashelf.
WARNING: When placing on a shelf,
