Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly, odorless gas produced by household items like furnaces, generators, and charcoal grills. It can cause headaches, dizziness, and even death.

To reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

- Install CO detectors near sleeping areas and replace them every 5 years.

- Have your heating system and gas appliances serviced annually by a qualified technician.

- Ensure proper ventilation for gas appliances and chimneys.

- Never use generators or portable gas camp stoves indoors.

- Have your car's exhaust system checked annually.

- Avoid running cars or trucks in attached garages, and near open vents or windows.

By taking these steps, you can minimize your risk of CO poisoning and stay safe.
