Carbon monoxide - what is it?

1. Carbon monoxide - what is it?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless and odourless respiratory poison. It
arises when carbon-containing fuels such as oil, wood and gas are burned
incompletely. The causes of this are diverse (e.g. technical defects, a lack of
maintenance of combustion equipment or blocked chimneys due to birds’
nests).
Why is CO so dangerous?
CO can be neither seen, smelled or tasted. So it is breathed in completely
without notice. In addition, intoxication produces no typical symptoms such
as breathlessness or coughing. And since the gas can penetrate walls and
ceilings, there is also a potential risk in rooms adjacent to a CO source.
What happens when it is breathed in?
CO suppresses the oxygen in the blood and causes carbon monoxide intox-
ication. Depending on the CO concentration in the air and the length of
time for which one is exposed to CO, light or severe intoxication can occur.
The exact symptoms can vary depending on one’s state of health. Therefore,
the following table presents only examples of possible symptoms.
Carbon monoxide - what is it?

Concentration Symptoms
150 ppm Light headache after approx. 1.5hours
200 ppm Headache, dizziness, nausea, tiredness after approx.
2to 3hours
400 ppm Strong headache in the forehead area
Death after approx. 3 hours
800 ppm Strong symptoms, loss of consciousness after 45min.
death after 2-3 hours
1600 ppm Strong symptoms after 20min.
Death within 1hour
i
In the case of very high concentrations, there is a threat of
acute danger and thus rapid loss of consciousness and death.
Behaviour in event of alarm
►Stay calm and promptly open all windows and doors.
►If possible, switch off all combustion equipment.
►Leave the building and leave the windows and doors open.
►Obtain medical assistance for persons with symptoms of CO intoxica-
tion and refer to CO as a possible cause.
►Contact the fire brigade, technical emergency services or specialist
installer and have the cause of the CO hazard source eliminated.
