What are the potential hazards of Carbon Monoxide (CO)?
CO binds to hemoglobin in the blood, reducing its oxygen-carrying capacity. Prolonged exposure can lead to symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and eventually unconsciousness and death.
Common sources of CO include vehicle exhaust, malfunctioning heating systems, gas appliances, and fires. Poorly ventilated or enclosed spaces increase the risk of CO accumulation.
Due to its lack of color, taste, and smell, CO can go unnoticed without proper detection equipment. CO detectors are crucial for early warning and prevention of CO poisoning. Understanding the hazards associated with carbon monoxide is vital for implementing effective prevention strategies and ensuring the safety of individuals in various environments, including homes, workplaces, and vehicles.
