Carbon Monoxide Safety
42 per cent of households in BC do not have a carbon monoxide detector.
What Is Carbon Monoxide, and Why Is It Dangerous?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odourless, tasteless, invisible gas that is produced by burning fuels such as propane, natural gas, oil, wood, charcoal, alcohol, kerosene, or gasoline — all of which are commonly used in your home, RV, boat, or business.
Exposure to CO Can be Deadly
CO interferes with the body’s ability to absorb oxygen, which can lead to serious illness, severe side effects, or death.
Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week
We’re partnering with the BC SPCA to educate British Columbians on the sources and symptoms of CO poisoning to keep people and pets safe.
