in enclosed areas. Use of a catalytic converter
reduces the carbon monoxide exhaust emissions,
but still is not safe for use in enclosed areas.
Use only in well-ventilated areas. Worksite air
quality must comply with OSHA 29 CFR
1910.1000 per table Z-1, limits for air
contaminants.
Monitor workspace air quality to insure
compliance. Failure to comply will result in
danger to life and cause permanent injury or
death.
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) has the distinction of
being one of the few commonly encountered
industrial gasses that is both highly toxic (poison)
and odorless. When inhaled, CO acts as a
chemical asphyxiant by preferentially combining
with hemoglobin in the blood stream. As a result,
the hemoglobin is not able to transport its normal
amount of oxygen, which results in under-
oxygenation of tissues. Symptoms of low-level
CO exposure include headaches, dizziness,
confusion, and nausea. However, loss of
consciousness, permanent injury and death may
result from continued or more intense exposure.
Because of the health hazards associated with
CO inhalation, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) have imposed
personal exposure limits. The OSHA exposure
limits, which are specified in the 29 CFR
1910.1000 (1998 Revision), allow for a 200 PPM
Ceiling Limit and a TWA of 35 PPM per 8-hour
