How to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning during the heating season

With colder temperatures approaching, people are turning on their heating systems, resulting in a hidden danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an odorless and tasteless gas created by burning fuels, which can replace oxygen in red blood cells causing serious health issues or death. Safety measures include installing a carbon monoxide detector, servicing heating systems annually, and avoiding enclosed spaces when using gas-powered generators.
