Hospitals reported an alarming spike in carbon monoxide poisonings because of people running their cars in shut garages and lighting grills in their living rooms.

Some have died of carbon monoxide poisoning after turning to their ovens or trucks to stay warm.

Houston’s Fire Chief Samuel Peña said on Thursday that carbon monoxide poisoning is at an “all-time high” as people attempt to warm themselves with generators, gas heating devices or cars in their garage.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is much less likely to happen if you’re parked in your driveway or on the street, but you must make sure your tailpipe isn’t blocked by snow.

You don’t want to start a fire or unwittingly fill your home with carbon monoxide.

His team of engineers set to work on a new device, a combination smoke and carbon-monoxide detector.

For example, research has shown that most carbon-monoxide alarm incidents are triggered by a malfunctioning furnace.

The blood is, however, never saturated with carbon monoxide, for the animal dies long before this takes place.

The detection in air, if the carbon monoxide is in any quantity, is easy enough; but traces of carbon monoxide are difficult.

Such a solution is an absorbent of carbon monoxide; it also absorbs ethylene and acetylene.

A “smoky” chimney or a defective flue will therefore introduce carbon monoxide into living-rooms.

Poisoning by coal gas is practically poisoning by carbon monoxide.
