Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Exposure

Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Exposure

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), moderate levels of carbon monoxide can give you and your family severe headaches and make you dizzy and mentally confused, nauseated or faint. If these symptoms persist, you can lose consciousness and die. Even low levels of carbon monoxide (CO) can result in shortness of breath, mild headaches and nausea. Exposure over a long period of time can result in severe heart and brain damage.
