Carbon Monoxide Project
Ann Moore and Ian Jenkinson have ensured that some of our Senior Citizens now have the protection of a Carbon Monoxide Alarm. An alarm was provided to those Senior Citizens with immediate need.
Carbon monoxide is an odourless, colourless gas that can kill you. It is found in fumes produced any time you burn fuel in cars or trucks, stoves, grills, fire-places or furnaces. Everyone is at risk from C0 poisoning. However, infants, the elderly, people with chronic heart disease, or breathing problems are more likely to get CO poisoning.' The symptoms of CO poisoning include: headache, dizziness, weakness , upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain and confusion. CO symptoms are often described as flu like. If you breathe in a lot of CO, you could pass out or it could kill you. To prevent Carbon Monoxide poisoning you can:
install a carbon monoxide alarm in your home, have your heating system, water heater and any other gas, oil or coal burning appliances serviced by a qualified technician every year,
get your chimney swept regularly
