Carbon Monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can be emitted by home appliances and can cause illness and death. Public awareness of the danger of carbon monoxide has increased due to newspaper headlines such as Six Dead From Carbon Monoxide! and Carbon Monoxide Sends Mother and Sons to Hospital! Many homeowners and people alike have purchased carbon monoxide monitors for this reason.
Low levels of carbon monoxide have been shown to be dangerous to all especially those with heart and lung disease, the elderly, pregnant women, unborn children, and children. Carbon monoxide poisoning produces flu-like symptoms, headache, sore throat, rapid heartbeats, memory loss, thinking difficulties, and sensitivity to light, sound, smell, etc. Out of approximately 12,000 patients in the U.S. each year with flu-like symptoms, about 2,000 of them are thought to actually be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. Most of which could have probably been avoided with proper detection.
Most Paris commercial carbon monoxide detectors are designed to detect concentrations of CO above 70 ppm (parts per million), yet prolonged exposure to concentrations of as little as 9 ppm can cause adverse health effects. In many homes, a "negative pressure" situation exists that prevents CO from escaping normally from the house. Anthony is certified by the National Comfort Institute as a Carbon Monoxide and Combustion Analyst. He will test the air and appliances in your home and install fan-assisted combustion air delivery equipment to correct any pressure imbalances that exist.
