Carbon monoxide is a very dangerous and poisonous gas. It is colourless and odourless which makes impossible to be seen with the naked eyes.

Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide builds up in the blood stream.

We’ve heard several tragic stories of how a whole family got killed by generator fume (carbon monoxide).

One of the several ways this carbon monoxide is produced is by burning gasoline which cars do. It is very dangerous in the sense that you might start feeling the effect when it is too late.

If everything should be normal as it ought to be in your car, carbon monoxide expelled from your tailpipe quickly dissipates to safe levels. But if a number of things go wrong, the safety level won’t remain the same

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 50,000 people are hospitalized each year, and 430 die due to accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.

The best way to avoid being poisoned from carbon monoxide is to prevent every possible exposure to it.

Here are the 4 ways to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning in your car.

1. Ensure your exhaust system is functioning properly. Leaks in the exhaust system can give way to carbon monoxide into your car. An exhaust system leak between the engine and the catalytic converter is the most dangerous.

2. Ensure your engine is tuned correctly. An out of tune engine or a malfunctioning emission system can skyrocket the carbon monoxide level.

3. Ensure there are no holes on the floor or trunks of your car. This is particularly dangerous if there is exhaust leak. Danfo people won’t hear this one.

4. Never leave your car running in a close garage. Open your car garage before starting your car.

Nice post ! Prevention is better than cure .

Good points.

On point

Not possible, what about exhaust from danfo and Tata buses around you while in traffic especially when your car AC is not working

nA gen own de kill for nigeria

OK

It is common with rickety vehicles or "accidented cut-and-join" cars.

Co2 is poisonous not just as Deadly as APC.

Also never connect an extension to your exhaust, placing it inside your vehicle.......

Forget all these on Nigerian cars.

Ensure your booth is locked. Passengers of commercial vehicles with opened trunk/ booth can testify to this.

It doesn't matter, We die for Allah!

CO is very deadly.
I once read a novel where a killer used CO fumes from the victims car to kill him.

It is colorless but why are we seeing it in the picture/illustration above?

You know there are some people that only "read" pictures....
And if they don't "see" the CO, they won't know they are in danger.....LoL
