Is It Alzheimer's, or Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?

from The NFPA Podcast · host Jesse Roman

Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer, but it doesn't have to kill you to have permanent consequences. There is growing evidence that long-term exposure to CO, at concentrations that are too small for a typical household alarm to detect, can have serious and permanent impacts on human health, including cognitive decline, neurological issues, organ damage, and other ailments that are often misdiagnosed as unrelated chronic diseases. Today on the podcast, we talk to Charon McNabb, the founder of the National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Association, about her own experiences with long-term CO exposure, what the public needs to know, and efforts underway to reduce this under-the-radar health hazard.  LINKS Watch a Fire Protection Research Foundation Webinar about the latest carbon monoxide research Learn more about the National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Association
