CARBON MONOXIDE DANGERS OUTLINED IN FREE BROCHURE

As we turn up the heat and prepare for winter, it is important to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning, the leading cause of poisoning deaths in this country.

Low levels of this toxic gas sicken thousands of people in their homes every year, and symptoms are often mistaken for the flu. Some people are installing carbon monoxide detectors to help protect against this invisible, odorless toxin.

First Alert, which manufactures home safety products, offers a free brochure that outlines how to locate a carbon monoxide leak. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope to CO Q&A, 415 North LaSalle, Suite 700B, Chicago, Ill. 60610.
