Unconsciousness within 2 hours. Death within 2-3 hours. 1 600 ppm Headache, dizziness and nausea within 20 minutes. Death within 1 hour. 3 200 ppm Headache, dizziness and nausea within 5-10 minutes. Death within 25-30 minutes. 6 400 ppm Headache, dizziness and nausea within 1-2 minutes. Death within 10-15 minutes. 12 800 ppm Death within 1-3 minutes. * Occupational Safety and Health Administration Reminder: The chart above relates to the exposure of healthy adults. 18 Part Four – What to do When the Alarm Sounds Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of CO poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented that they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also young children, older family members, and household pets may be the first affected. The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: Common Mild Exposure Symptoms: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often described as “flu” like symptoms. Common Medium Exposure Symptoms: Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting Common Extreme Exposure Symptoms: Unconsciousness, brain damage, death. Become familiar with these common symptoms from CO poisoning. If you experience even mild symptoms of COpoisoning, consult your doctor immediately! 20 Part Four – What to do When the Alarm Sounds Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure If alarm signal sounds: 1) Operate the Test/Reset Button 2) Call your emergency services (Fire Dept. or 911). 3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re- enter the premises nor moove away from an open door or window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises has been aired out, and your alarm remaines in it’s normal condition. 4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and culsult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. PHONE NUMBER WARNING: Actuation of the CO Alarm indicates the presence of CarbonMonoxide (CO) which can kill you.
