Did you know that inhaling carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning?
Because it is colorless, odorless and tasteless – but frequently used in all kinds of appliances around the home – it is difficult to detect.

Inside, you will find carbon monoxide in household appliances and gas heating systems and chimneys, and possibly in the garage with cars, the barbecue and generator.

It is important to take precautions to avoid accidents.

• Install a detector where there are sources of carbon monoxide.
• Do not use gasoline-powered equipment inside the home.
• Follow the maintenance and safety rules of your appliances and machines.

If, unfortunately, you detect carbon monoxide inside, you must immediately air out your home. Open the windows and let the air circulate. A proper ventilation system can play an important role in keeping you safe.
