What are the symptoms caused by carbon monoxide gas (CO) exposure?


Last Updated: 12/03/2013

Exposure to carbon monoxide gas (CO poisoning) can cause flu-like symptoms, only without a fever. Victims of low to moderate exposure to CO gas can experience a range of symptoms, which include headache, fatigue, and nausea. Higher levels of CO exposure can lead to clouded judgment, vomiting, unconsciousness, and even death in as little as 20 minutes.

Since carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas, it's difficult for our bodies to detect. That's why every home and office should be equipped with a reliable CO gas detector, like the GE Security 260-CO. CO detectors can work as stand alone units or be integrated into an existing security system. Available in hardwired or wireless, JMAC Supply has the perfect detector to protect your home and office from this insidious, deadly gas.
