#27 Carbon Monoxide Exposure

Do you know that according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), carbon monoxide poisoning causes approximately 3,500 emergency department visits and 300 hospitalizations in Canada each year.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels. It can be dangerous, even at low concentrations, because it can build up in the bloodstream and prevent oxygen from reaching vital organs.
