About this ebook
Carbon monoxide (CO)is the most dangerous commonly occurring indoor air pollutant.

The Carbon Monoxide Fact Book describes how carbon monoxide (CO) is created, the sources of CO, the chemistry and physiology of CO, the symptoms of CO poisoning, first aid for exposure to CO, and safety standards for exposure. Also included is the "Indoor Evaluation Checklist", which helps you evaluate any indoor space for CO. The results help you avoid and solve potential CO problems in the home, office or any other enclosed space. This is a fact-filled, informative guide designed to help you prevent, identify and correct CO problems indoors. It could help you save a life!
