Carbon monoxide is one of the most dangerous household threats because you can’t see, smell, or taste it.
Often called a “silent killer,” carbon monoxide (CO) can cause sudden illness or death before you even know there is a problem. Because it is completely odorless and colorless, people may not realize they are being exposed until it is too late. Even small amounts can be harmful, which makes early detection critical.
Learn the warning signs of CO poisoning, common sources of exposure, and simple steps to protect your family from this preventable danger, brought to you by Shock Trauma’s Center for Injury Prevention and Policy.
