Doctor Raising Awareness About Carbon Monoxide

With the weather turning colder and many furnaces firing up for the first time in a while, experts are raising awareness about the dangers of carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that develops when fuel isn’t burned completely.

Experts recommend homes having a carbon monoxide detector and having all fuel-burning appliances maintained to help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

The CDC says each year, more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning not linked to fires.
