Carbon Monoxide
CO is found in combustion fumes,
such as those produced by small gasoline
engines, stoves, generators, lanterns, and gas
ranges, or by burning charcoal and wood. Never
use these items in a small enclosed area such as
a home or garage as CO from these sources can
build up in enclosed spaces. As a result, people
and animals in these spaces can be poisoned and
can die from breathing CO.
