 Carbon Monoxide Poisoning


Summary

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that has no odor or color. But it is very dangerous. It can cause sudden illness and death. CO is found in combustion fumes, such as those made by cars and trucks, lanterns, stoves, gas ranges and heating systems. CO from these fumes can build up in places that don't have a good flow of fresh air. You can be poisoned by breathing them in. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are

    Headache
    Dizziness
    Weakness
    Nausea
    Vomiting
    Chest pain
    Confusion
