- Carbon monoxide poisoning is a potentially fatal health hazard most common in winter. But did you know research suggests carbon monoxide is also dangerous when you are exposed to low levels over long periods of time, and a carbon monoxide alarm or detector might not alert you to these levels? In this episode of Learn Something New™ by NFPA Journal®, we explore the lesser-known impacts of carbon monoxide and how low-level and long-term exposure affects health.

My grandma and her family were almost killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. Her dad was working on the car in the garage and the car was running. My grandma and her siblings were falling asleep and my great grandma had a headache. Two of my grandma’s aunts happen to be there and recognized that they were being poisoned by carbon monoxide. They managed to get everyone out and told my great grandpa that he needed to shut the car off. He never forgave himself for what happened but thankfully everyone was okay.
we have some trucks that have the exhaust out let right behind the truck cab. and when the long framed ones have a trailer on them the exhaust swirls between the cab and the truck. when this truck goes into regen I cannot breath with both windows down due to the extremely pungent fumes in the cab. I told my company about this and got ignored. One driver I once knew drove the same model and thought due to the constant airing about Convid thought he had the flu got the dose blood clotted and he died. My left arem swelled in very serious pain could hardly stay awake constant headaches. got out of that truck finally to one with a stack and my health problems began to reverse after driving a stack exhaust truck. Warning to all you drivers with the "weed burner exhaust" your getting this type of poisoning. My cognitive function is still off months later. This documentary is spot on to my personal experience.
What you said makes me concerned for my dad. He drives a Volvo and I think it has a "grass burner".
Production and slavery over safety and welfare concerns.
I have a new car model (about 2017) working on diesel and a semi-open garage (I mean there is a ceiling that covers two-thirds of the car but not all the car, three walls but there is no door in the entry).
Can carbon monoxide still be dangerous if the car's motor remains on, or is it safe even if I forget to put it off and stay inside the garage?
I can’t breathe carbon monoxide, I have asthma.
So why in the hell aren't these detectors all calibrated to lower settings then?????? like say 15 This is nothing to piss with its dangerous.
Can anyone recommend a low level detector please? I've just had a very serious problem at work that could be related to this .TIA
So not only do I have many other problems in my life that I gotta worry about, now I gotta worry about long term CO exposure?
Oh great. Thanks for telling me that I could be slowly dying. Shit man.
I guess it's good to know......great video btw I decided to sub.
You sound so under-fifty-something. : )
The half life of Carbon Monoxide in your blood stream is 5 and 1/2 hours. That's a long time to cause some effects!
Can you please explain this further? Are you saying you might not get symptoms until 5.5 hours
@@vslegoclub878 basically when carbon monoxide enters your bloodstream, the effects start a little quickly and it takes 5 and 1/2 hours for half of the carbon monoxide to leave your body. After 5 more hours, half of that half left leaves, And so on.
I have been having throat issues and breathing issues. I wonder if this could be my issues.
one of my worst fears is being killed by carbon monoxide. You just get more drowsy and sleepy until you basically die of asphyxiation. You can not even tell its present cause it smells like air. Very scary!
" You just get more drowsy and sleepy until you basically die of asphyxiation " There are way worse ways to die that actually happen every day, that make this sound quite peaceful and a nice way to go by comparison. Waking up to thousands of pounds of marbles falling on you and burying you making you unable to move as thousands of insects move in from every direction and just start eating you... sounds more scary to me . But I guess that doesn't quite happen every day either :)
@@ericbeich read the room. Bad take.
@@campersruincod6134 My bad, I guess being stabbed to death would be much better. My apologies to 'the room' :) read the room? LOLWUT?! ( no reply needed, trust me)
In the neighborhood I used to live in, a lot of folks have wood-burning stoves or fireplaces. It had tall hills immediately on a couple sides and it was in a bowl-shaped low point in an otherwise high-elevation city. So the smoke from said, would accumulate, low in the neighbors. Every winter to early spring, I'd be unusually tired and the old timers would make jabs at me, saying things like your too young to be like that. Unlike most folks of my pansy generation, I wasn't offended by some folk's jest, however, where I am now I don't have the same issue, save for damn allergies to some invasive plant we have. I do miss my trees, the snow, and the cold (somewhat) though.
Sounds like a winning lottery ticket to me in all seriousness
Seems like this could be a great series!
My carbon monoxide alarms are going off. 🚨 it’s scary. I called 911 the fire truck 🚒 came. Then centerpoint energy is here testing my stove and furnace.
They have better testers!
It’s worth to have the professionals check. My batteries 🔋 🔋 are new. I write ✍️ on them with a Parker.
Medium kevels from exhaust leak in car over 5 months greatly affected eyes and hearing slso csuses sinus problems!
I was working on my petrol car with engine running., half an hour with big door up for fresh air. I ended up the next 3 days with a severe headache, cold shaking, soaking sweats, aching body. , sore throat and sore eyes. And all because trying to sort a misfire.

Who else is here for their instructor 1 presentation?
I woke up in a puddle of water in freezing rain with no fingernails. I laid there for hours coughing and felt like I was drowning over and over again. I couldnt understand what had happened till I looked behind me and saw the bloody claw marks on the ground . I had clawed my way outside of the building I was in. The flue pipe in the attic had collapsed, recirculating the exhaust throughout the building. I should have called for help. Its been 12 years and I still feel ill . I can detect it just by smell now. When its present I know it cause all my symptoms increase in severity. It caused brain damage and lots of unknown problems. I feel sick endlessly. I just turned 37.
Good job saving yourself! I don't know what's worse now between my two biggest fears: drowning in some way that I can't get out or 'feeling' like I'm drowning and there is nothing I can do about it 😑
This is a super video on this subject.
How dangerous is furion and carbon monoxide
Just to let everyone know, Lasko/Germguardian makes a 22 inch air purifier that you can buy a special filter called Toxin Guard that can filter out Carbon Monoxide with a two-stage Hepa Filter / Charcoal Filter.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't have carbon monoxide detectors outside of the room you are sleeping in though. Having the carbon monoxide detector in your bedroom probably means it is too late (unless you are sleeping with a heater ... then good luck) and the levels are most likely too toxic to get up and do anything about it
Good explanation
many of us today who inhales CO from waste engine oil used by our neighbor for cooking stove undergo surgery for appendix damaged esp.that we are weak in health due to our comorbilities edlergy paralyze and just give birth were victims of inhaling this😢.As we know appendix protects our body from invaders of health as what i have observe daily using of it by our neighbor and we inhale daily fumes from this damages our health esp.appendix part.
I get CO2 gas build up a lot, because I am on Oxygen and I am an X-smoker with a crust on/in my lungs. This causes CO2 gas to build up and make me ill and accompanied with severe insomnia and Nausea, Finally I found the a good 500 MG of (time sustained) Niacin takes it out in about 15/20 minutes.
I need to lover and be loved...I want to touch a person valuable to me.... To feel Worthy and recognized!!... Not for social media relevance,but for fufilling my worth and for a reason to be a real man ,not ashamed of giving pure affection to the person that knows me Better than I do....the eyes tell all
There is only one question I have after accidentally being poisoned, actually two, that I found no answer to googling.
Recovery time line. The other is if it can be diagnosed with certainty.
So after hour or more I don’t even know if I will recover, or if symptoms are going away anytime soon….3 days later
A person who is young enough,, yet is well beyond their years in human behavior... When I touch this person tenderly and let her know that "to me"⁶hef walue iand her compassion,and ability to read me so well is something that makese feel things inside that made me experience a true sense of purpos
Does it react or combine with some other product that can make it worse ?
Nanoparticles contains as well carbon monoxide
Awesome 🙏🏻
Banger vid
So what causes it? Is it like ur oven or something
My oven must be pretty good, because I set it to a little less than 170F with the door open all night long to help heat the place during the major blizzard that we had in December.
Edit: My point is that I am still alive(obviously) and I felt great! I will never do it again, though.
Carbon monoxide is caused by many things not just by your oven. It can for example also be caused by a generator being run inside or close to your home or running your vehicle inside your garage.
Thank you
Basically everyone wearing masks now right?
That’s carbon dioxide 🤦🏻♀️
@@xneverfull hahahahah
@@xneverfull Chemistry isn't most people's strong point. Also, I get very irritated when people try to tell me that oxygen and co2 are flammable and / or explosive.
