Carbon Monoxide Poisonings
Carbon monoxide may be a dan
ger in the home, in transportation,
and in many industrial occupations.
Automobile Poisonings
Running automobile motors in
closed garages or in repair shops,
and leakage of exhaust gas into
automobiles or buses because of
faulty exhaust systems cause many
cases of poisoning.
So called car sickness, headache,
sleepiness, faulty judgement, and
impaired driving ability may some
times be due to the presence of the
deadly carbon monoxide. Investi
gations have indicated that mild
exhaust gas poinsoning has been a
contributing cause in many high
way accidents.
Blown-out
gaskets,
cracked exhaust manifolds, leaky
exhaust
mufflers, pipe or
manifold connections are among
the causes of exhaust gases escap
ing into the driver's compartment
in large enough quantities to cause
possible harm.
To prevent carbon monoxide poi
soning from automobiles the fol
lowing suggestions are made:
Do not run an automobile en
gine in a closed garage. The car-1
bon monoxide given off by a ca r
i
running in a garage with the doors
closed is sufficient to render the
air deadly in 5 minutes.
Do not sit in a closed parked
car with the engine running. The
hot exhaust gas tends to rise and
may leak through openings in the
floor.
Do not operate an automobile
with a poorly adjusted motor. This
is not only uneconomical from the
standpoint of fuel combustion, but
it greatly increases the carbon
monoxide output of the motor.
Keep the exhaust system free
from defects so that the exhaust
gases are discharged at the rear
of the car.
Poisonings in the Home
In the home, furnaces having
partly blocked chimneys or leaky
deteriorated piping may be one of
the sources of carbon monoxide
poisoning. Tampering with burners
vents of gas-fired appliances
may also create excessive amounts
of carbon monoxide.
The following are some of the
precautions that can be taken in
the home.
Inspect furnaces periodically to
see that the flues and vent pipes
are kept clean and in a good state
of repair.
Use proper gas-burning equip
ment correctly adjusted. The local
gas company has a service for the
inspection of gas-buming appli
ances.
Do not leave a gas flame burn
ing low in the room where one is
sleeping. Do not sleep with an un
vented heater burning and win
dows closed.
Use care when boiling liquids on
a gas stove. See that they do not
boil over and partially extinguish
the gas flame.
Industrial Poisonings
As a potential industrial poison,
carbon monoxide is second only to
lead.
Industrial surveys indicate that
carbon monoxide may be a hazard
to garage workers and motor ve
hicle drivers. Most carbon monox
ide poisonings occur on these jobs.
Additional potential exposures oc
cur in mines following the use of
explosives or fires; near furnaces,
ovens, forges, kilns, as well as
chargers, cleaners, coremakers, and
cupola men in smelters and brass
foundries.
Salamander stoves, a metal drum
type, are dangerous sources of car
bon monoxide in poorly ventilated
areas.
In the printing industries lino
typists and monotypists may be
subjected to carbon monoxide from
the melting pots. Other jobs where
carbon monoxide may be a hazard
are cooking, baking, tailor shops,
laundry works.
In industry the following is sug
gested as the best protection from
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Keep alert to defective ventila
tion and situations in which the
gases of burning fuel of any kind
may get into the air. Report to
your employer any condition which
formation
may
mulation of carbon monoxide gas.
When a worker enters a closed
space were carbon monoxide gas
mas be present, he should wear an
air-line respirator and safety line.
A crew of men who know the signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning
should watch him while he is in
there.
Your local health department or
the Industrial Hygiene Division of
the State Board of Health should
be informed if possible sources of
carbon monoxide poisoning is sus
pected.
This is the time of year when
carbon monoxide strikes. Be alert,
take proper precautions in the
home, around cars, in the factory.
Help prevent carbon monoxide
poisonings!

Reduced Visibility,
Inclement Weather,
Automobile Hazards
"American motorists, in 1949,
drove the equivalent of 17 million
trips around the world," Super
visor E. H. England told the press
today. "But the cost in human lives
and property was high. Far too
high!"
More than a million of these
drivers were involved in a non-fatol
injury accident of some kind, and
37,000 were involved in an accident
resulting in someone's death, Su
pervisor England said.
"At this time of year we may be
tempted to feel over-confident be
cause we are on the highway less—
and thus, theoretically, exposed to
danger less. Actually, because of
longer hours of darkness and ad
verse weather, almost the opposite
may be the case," he said.
Emphasizing the deadliness of
winter's deadly tricks, Supervisor
England cited National Safety
council figures showing that 2,350
persons died in traffic accidents
occurring during January 1949.
Supervisor England, who repre
sents the Montana Highway patrol
and its January program of traffic
safety education, listed the t o
chief factors making winter condi
tions notoriously dangers for driv
ers:
1. Reduced visibility: More than
half the day in January is
shrouded in darkness. Thus, the
dangers to drivers and pedestrians
are increased immensely because
P ea k hours of traffic every day fall
dunnc: periods of dusk or darkness,
u ® p
* nc einen
Rain,
sleet and snow—so common to Jan
uary—further reduce visibility and
create unsafe road surface condi
tions. This means that windshield
wiper blades must work perfectly |
and tire chains must be used when
weather:
i
needed.
"The need for greater caution,
less speed, and more attention to
mechanical safety features of your
car are quite obvious," Supervisor
England said. "The disregard of
any one of these points can cancel
out careful adherence to the
others!"
The Montana Highway Patrol's
January emphasis on winter driv
ing hazards has as its slogan; |
"Drive Slow in Sleet or Snow!"
and is being conducted in Montana
with the cooperation of the Na
tional safety council,
