What Is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas. It is produced when we burn fuel in many appliances and vehicles. When carbon monoxide builds up in a building, home, vehicle, or other enclosed space, it can poison and kill people who breathe it.

The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

  • Headache
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness
  • Confusion
  • Chest pain
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Nausea or upset stomach
  • Weakness

Everyone is at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. However, elderly individuals and infants are at a higher risk. Also, people with anemia, chronic heart disease, and breathing problems are more likely to become sick from CO gas.

Over 400 people die each year in the United States from carbon monoxide poisoning. Additionally, over 100,000 people are treated in emergency rooms, and over 14,000 are hospitalized because of carbon monoxide poisoning.
