Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Checklist in the Home, Cabin, and Camper Carbon monoxide is often referred to as CO, which is its chemical symbol. Unlike many gases, CO is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and nonirritating. Red blood cells absorb CO over 200 times more readily than oxygen. As levels of CO in the air rise, this gas replaces oxygen in the bloodstream. As a result, body tissues are damaged and may die of a lack of oxygen. Knowing the major causes of carbon monoxide poisoning and using measures to eliminate them will prevent many needless tragedies. The following checklist relates to various areas in your environment, and will help you in dealing properly with the unseen, deadly hazard of carbon monoxide. The questions in this section will apply directly to your home, cabin, or camper. Compare your answers with the correct explanation provided, and be sure to eliminate any danger of CO in your home.
