:or Winter
/ith winter's approach comes the
ch for warmth. Car windows go up,
le windows go down, furnaces go on.
too often, the search leads?quite
rally?to a dead end: deadly carhon
loxide.
ach year, according to the U.S. Public
ilth Service, 900 Americans are killed
heir homes by carlxm monoxide. More
exposed to levels so dangerous that
lical attention is required,
arhon monoxide is created by combus
i. When carbon-containing substances
h as wood, coal and natural gas are
ned, they produce relatively harmless
3on dioxide. Unless it's done under
iratory conditions, combustion is iniplete.
In addition to carbon dioxide,
lbustion produces quantities of carbon
loxide which increase dramatically
h improperly vented appliances,
i concentration of one part carbon
noxide to 5,000 parts of air can
duce a headache in a few hours. If the
contains one percent carbon monoxexposure
of only five minutes is
lost always fatal.
'o make matters worse, carbon monoxnot
only kills, it kills without warning
ause it is invisible, odorless and
teless.
'here are frightening examples: a
lily of seven found dead in their beds,
'he cause? A clogged flue in the gas
/e. A family of five overcome by cari
monoxide fumes nearly died because
i piece of crumpled screen stuffed in
chimney to keep birds out, plumed
furnace vent.
'he danger comes partly from the tenicy
to take a heating system for gran.
Some tips on keeping your family
e:
-Regularly check your furnace system
m the basement to the top vent cap of
roof. Look for holes, cracks, rust or
connected parts.
-Check the vent cap carefully. If the
jports are rusted through, the vent cap
y collapse and stop air passage,
place worn or rusted parts right away.
-If there is a clean-out door, he sure
flue is clear of debris. Plugged chimts
and rusted flues are common causes
problems.
-Make sure the chimney extends
jve the highest point of your home.
?Window screening in flues or stuffed
chimneys may keep out nesting birds
squirrels, but can become blocked by
>t.
?Check the operating condition of the
nace. One indication that a gas pilot or
rner is out of adjustment is a flickering
How flame. A blue upright flame is
rer.
\nyone with doubts about a furnace's
idition should call a reliable heating
itractor for a safety check.
