The Invisible,

Odorless Killer

'Motor Vehicles, like the dragons of old, have a foul and fiery breath. From their tailpipes and crankcases these modern fnonsterlk spew forth a steady stream orpollutants,” say 2 top officers of the Public Health Service, based oh a report submitted to the U. S. Congress in June 1962. High on the list of these poisonous gases is carbon monoxide, wn i c h cannot be seen or smelled. It can strike without warning and take its toll without its victims’ being aware of its presence. The immediate hazards of carbon monoxide poisoning are usually located right at home. And autos are not the only offenders. Any gas-powered engine allowed to run in a closed gVage, a furnace with insufficient draft, a leaking gas stove or pipe are all common causes of carbon monoxide poisoning. Even in amounts as little as l/50th of the normal oxygen content of the air, carbon monoxide can be fatal withih an hour. Children and anerrtic persons are particularly susceptible.
