The flu and carbon , Avoid Problems: Painting Aluminum And Vinyl Siding monoxide (CO) poisoning share many symptoms: headache,
dizziness, nausea, weakness, confusion and fatigue. However, while CO
poisoning does not come with a fever, the flu does.

If you have flu symptoms, but no fever, remind your physician about the
possibility of CO poisoning. The Consumer Product , Overwintering Pond Fish Safety Commission (CPSC)

* Finally, install CO detector/alarms in your home. , The Benefits of Ventilation These detector/alarms are

There are two types of CO detector/alarms available: hardwired, (using household
current); and battery powered.
* Hardwired sensors usually purge themselves and resample for CO at a preset
period of time.
* Battery powered sensors usually react to prolonged exposure to CO.

Whichever kind you purchase, make sure the CO detector/alarm meets the
requirements of Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) 2034. (This can usually be
determined by reading the manufacturer's label or installation instructions.)

I recommend installation of ceiling mounted detector/alarms in the following
areas:
* One on each floor , The Benefits of Home Ventilation of the residence (On floors , Green roofs on Garden Buildings used for sleeping, the

* One in the vicinity of each major fuel burning appliance (not within five

Consult the manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure the right
placement of the detector/alarm in each area.
