Ontario's third annual Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week runs from November 1-7, 2020.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the silent killer because it is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas that can be deadly. It's produced when fuels such as propane, gasoline, natural gas, heating oil or wood do not burn completely in fuel-burning appliances and devices such as furnaces, fireplaces, hot water heaters, stoves, barbeques, portable heaters and generators or vehicles.
If your CO alarm sounds, and you or other occupants suffer from symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out of the home immediately. Then call 9-1-1 or your local emergency services number from outside the building. You may not always be aware that you have CO poisoning, you may feel tired and chalk it up to just a long day. As a precaution, if your CO alarm sounds and you are not sure if you're suffering from CO poisoning dial 9-1-1, this may help save your life. Always make sure the battery on your CO alarm is replaced and that the alarm itself has not reached its "end-of-life."
