PSA
Carbon Monoxide poisoning
Transcript: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas. It can kill you. Don’t use anything indoors that burns fuel, such as gasoline-powered generators, camp stoves and lanterns, or charcoal grills. Opening doors and windows or using fans won’t prevent a build-up of carbon monoxide. Have your vents and chimneys checked to make sure water heater and gas furnace exhausts aren’t blocked. If you feel sick, dizzy or weak while using a generator, get to fresh air right away. The message is from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
