Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Facts about CO

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.

Factors That Increase the Effects of CO Poisoning

Age

Smokers or people exposed to high concentrations of cigarette smoke

Consumption of alcohol

Lung disorders

Heart problems

Pregnancy

Carbon monoxide gas (CO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and 
extremely dangerous.

All engines, generators, and fuel burning appliances produce CO
as exhaust.

Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or very quick exposure to 
high concentrations will
 cause BRAIN DAMAGE or DEATH.

Teak surfing, dragging, or water skiing within 20 feet of a moving 
watercraft can be fatal.
