Carbon monoxide is formed when organic compounds burn. The most common sources are motor vehicle exhaust, smoke from fires, engine fumes, and non-electric heaters. Carbon monoxide poisoning is often associated with malfunctioning or obstructed exhaust systems and with suicide attempts.
Sources of carbon monoxide:
- Gas water heaters
- Kerosene space heaters
- Charcoal grills
- Propane heaters and stoves
- Gasoline and diesel powered generators
- Cigarette smoke
- Propane-fueled forklifts
- Gasoline powered concrete saws
- Indoor tractor pulls
- Boats engines
- Spray paint, solvents, degreasers, and paint removers
Incorrectly installed, poorly maintained or poorly ventilated household appliances – such as cookers, heaters and central heating boilers – are the most common causes of accidental exposure to carbon monoxide.
