Medium exposure (a CO level between 150 ppm to 300 ppm) will produce dizziness, drowsiness and vomiting. Extreme exposure (a CO level of 400 ppm and higher) will result in unconsciousness, brain damage and death.How to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning - have a qualified technician install and regularly inspect all fuel burning appliances - regularly inspect fireplaces and chimneys to insure proper ventilation - never use a gas or charcoal barbeque indoors - never start a car or gas run lawnmower or snow blower in a closed garage. - install a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
