Carbon Monoxide Alarms. Safety Warning.

Zoomup

I recently suffered from mild carbon monoxide exposure. It caused typical symptoms. There were two separate incidents, so I know the cause in both cases. When the source of the carbon monoxide was removed all symptoms went away.

In the area of carbon monoxide build up there are three separate battery operated carbon monoxide alarms. None sounded a warning. Maybe the level of detection is set higher. Maybe I am ultra-sensitive. Who knows.

I will now not rely on carbon monoxide alarms to give a 100 per cent reliable early warning.

Quote. “The symptoms of exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide can be similar to those of food poisoning and flu.” 

Be warned.

Z.

    AFAIK, more sensitive carbon monoxide alarms are allowed for specialist applications including yachts and boats.

    These give a lower volume “beep beep” at low levels that present no short term danger. A higher level produces a much louder alarm.

    Low level alarm=open the doors or portholes.

    High level alarm=Evacuate to the open deck, or ashore if moored.
