Carbon Monoxide

Introduction

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, poisonous gas produced by incomplete burning of carbon-based fuels, including gas, oil, wood, and coal. CO is often referred to as ‘The Silent Killer’, because you can’t smell, hear or see carbon monoxide, yet it is a highly toxic gas which can have devastating consequences. CO is present in several different industries, such as steel works, manufacturing, electricity supply, coal and metal mining, food manufacturing, oil and gas, production of chemicals and petroleum.

15 people die from CO poisoning every year

Colourless, odourless, tasteless, poisonous gas

Effects of CO poisoning, include breathlessness, chest pain, seizures and loss of consciousness
