Each year, 300 Americans die and thousands require hospitalization as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you think that you may have carbon monoxide poisoning, you should seek medical attention right away.
There are many causes that may place people at risk for carbon monoxide poisoning, including indoor heating systems, kitchen appliances, smoke from a burning automobile and some industrial machinery.
