E. Symptoms
NOTICE
DO NOT rely on the use of smell or sight of other
gases to detect CO, because it diffuses in the
air much more rapidly than easily detectable
vapors (i.e. visible andaromatic vapors).
One or more of the following symptoms can signal the
adverse effect of CO accumulation:
1.
Watering and itchy eyes
Flushedappearance
Throbbingtemples
Inattentiveness
Inability to think coherently
Loss of physical coordination
Ringing in the ears
Tightness across the chest
Headache

quence of appearance of symptoms. However,

C. How a Person is Affected by Carbon
Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is absorbed by the lungs and reacts
withbloodhemoglobintoformcarboxyhemoglobin,which
reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. The
result is a lack of oxygen for the tissues with the subse-
quenttissuedeathand,ifexposure is prolonged,death
of the individual.
NOTICE
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poison-
ing may easily be mistaken for seasickness.

Treatment (Evaluate, Ventilate, Evacuate, Inves-
tigate, Take Corrective Action)
D. Effects of Carbon Monoxide
Evaluate the situation and ventilate the area if pos-
sible.
Carbon monoxide in high concentrations can be fatal in a
matter of minutes. Lower concentrations must not be
ignoredbecausetheeffectsofexposuretoCOarecumu-
lative and can be just as lethal.
Evacuate the area and move affected person(s) toa
freshairenvironment.
Certain health related problems and age will increase the
effects of CO. People who smoke or are exposed to high
concentrations of cigarette smoke, consume alcohol or
have lung disorders or heart problems, are particularly
susceptible to an increase in the effects from CO. How-
ever, all occupants’health should be considered. Physi-
cal exertion accelerates the rate at which the blood ab-
sorbs CO.

Observe the victim(s).
Administer oxygen if available.
Contact medical help. If the victim is not breathing,
performrescue breathing or approved cardiopulmo-
nary resuscitation (CPR), as appropriate, untilmedi-
