Carbon monoxide poisoning prevention

Preventing carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning involves ensuring proper ventilation in homes and workplaces where fuel-burning appliances are used, such as gas stoves, heaters, and fireplaces. Install CO detectors on every level of your home, especially near sleeping areas, and test them regularly to ensure they work. Avoid using generators, grills, or camping equipment indoors or in enclosed spaces. Keep chimneys and vents clear to allow for proper ventilation. Never leave a car running in a closed garage. Recognizing early symptoms, such as headache and dizziness, can also help prompt immediate action if CO exposure occurs.
