Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act

The Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act is a law aimed at reducing the risks associated with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. It requires the installation of CO detectors in homes and certain buildings, particularly where combustion appliances are used. The Act emphasizes the importance of public awareness about the dangers of CO, which is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. By ensuring detectors are in place and educating people on CO safety, the Act seeks to prevent incidents of poisoning and promote overall public health and safety.
