Carbon Monoxide (CO)

CO Facts

• CO poisoning causes a significant number of boating deaths each year.

• Called the "silent killer", CO is an extremely toxic, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.

• CO can harm or even kill you inside or outside your boat.

• CO can affect you whether you’re underway, moored, or anchored.

• CO symptoms are similar to seasickness or alcohol intoxication.

• CO can make you sick in seconds. In high enough concentrations, even a few breaths can be fatal.

• Breathing CO blocks the ability of your blood to carry oxygen.

• The effects are cumulative. Even low levels of exposure can result in injury or death.
