CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY

Carbon Monoxide
CO-ALERT
12
Generators are convenient, but they can also be dangerous. All fuel-
burning appliances and equipment release a poisonous gas called carbon
monoxide.
Carbon monoxide (also known as CO) can be dangerous for humans
and pets, even in small amounts, because it blocks oxygen from getting
into your body. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death in a very
short time. It is odorless, tasteless and invisible, so you may be exposed
without knowing it. That is why carbon monoxide is sometimes called
"the silent killer."
