Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that kills silently. It is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. It is so cruel that victims can transit in a few minutes. OMD, Inc., a leading designer and installer of superb quality Los Angeles security systems shares this information about carbon dioxide.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced by the incomplete burning of coal, fuels, wood, oil, kerosene, charcoal, propane, and natural gas. Dangerous levels of CO can result during cooking if the appliance is used improperly or not working properly. Unintended exposure to CO, according to statistics, accounts for an estimated 15,000 emergency visits and 500 unintended deaths in the U.S. per year.

It is difficult for people to know that they are exposed to CO. The symptoms of low to moderate carbon monoxide poisoning seem like flu except that there is no fever. These include the following:
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness
• Nausea

Severe symptoms are seen on high level of carbon monoxide poisoning that includes:
• Vomiting
• Loss of muscular coordination
• Mental confusion
• Loss of consciousness
• Untimely death

The severity of symptom is related to the duration of exposure and the CO levels. The symptoms of mild to moderate CO poisoning are mistaken for flu by people living in gradually developing residential CO exposures leading to tragic deaths. Even doctors mistake the symptoms as flu. People living in fast developing high-level CO exposure areas can have loss of muscle control and become mentally confused without experiencing milder symptoms.

OMD, Inc. released this information to inform the public on the dangers of CO and to make them aware how fatal it could be. The company advises the public to install a carbon monoxide sensor for security purposes. This security system is an important device that every homeowner and business establishments should have.
