weather means a reduction in ven-1 tilation in homes and cars. Both places may have sources of carbon monoxide which can cause death,” j Dr. Shanholtz said.
The Division of Accident Prevention of the Public Health Service reports that in 1959 carbon monoxide poisoning caused 644 deaths in the United States. The leading source was automobiles followed closely by faulty gas-burning appliances. Incomplete burning or cooking or illuminating gas produces poisonous carbon monoxide, instead of carbon dioxide. In Virginia in 1959, 11 persons died from carbon monoxide poisoning, 5 in tfieir home, 5 in their automobiles and 1 in an unspecified place.
“One of the dangerous aspects of carbon monoxide poisoning,” Dr. Shanholtz warned, “is that the symptoms do not immediately suggest the cause. Thus, in an automobile, nausea and dizziness, accompanied by headache, should not be attributed to motion sickness and then forgotten. Instead automobile windows should be opened and fresh air breathed for several minutes,” he said.
“Hot water and room heaters should be cleaned periodically, and checked to see that they are in proper adjustment, and that flue piping, chimney or draft are not defective. Always keep a window open slightly, even in cold weather.
