he has a small heater, he has not been feeling good and thinks it's carbon monoxide he also called his landlord. he past out three times last night and i am taking him to the ER after his shift at work. He is dizzy, and blacks out
Answer
Well for starters-- he should have a carbon monoxide detector in his apartment along with a smoke detector. All cities are different but here in New York landlords are required by law to install them in all units. Most other cities that I know of have similar laws. If his landlord is not obligated or refuses to do so, a basic one is not that expensive-- Carbon monoxide can be fatal.
Also, when your son passed out was he at his apartment or yours? It could be something else-- mold in the apartment or a physical health problem or a neurological problem. Either way, definately do not ignore it-- he should see a doctor as soon as possible to properly diagnose the problem-- I do not recommend doing yourself or allowing google, wikipedia, me or any other poster here to do it instead.

I was told today that all apartments should have carbon dioxide detectors. that the person believed it was in the housing law (just like every apartment must have fire alarms and an extinguisher ) Now I live in New York State. In the city of Syracuse. I need to know if its true before I call and demand that they instale one. We bought one to put in the nursery for the baby (when he comes LOL I have to get everything done now so I know its done) Thanks for the help.
hahah rolfl I did not catch that I typed dioxide instead of monoxide. LOL thanks for pointing it out!!!
Answer
Not true! If you have electric heat, range, etc. there is no carbon monoxide unless you light your furniture on fire!
New York
N.Y. Exec. Law § 378 â Standards for New York state uniform fire prevention and building code.
Requires New York Fire Prevention and Building Code to adopt standards for installation of carbon monoxide detectors requiring that every one or two-family dwelling constructed or offered for sale after July thirtieth, two thousand two, any dwelling accommodation located in a building owned as a condominium or cooperative in the state constructed or offered for sale after July thirtieth, two thousand two, or any multiple dwellings constructed or offered for sale after August ninth, two thousand five shall have installed an operable carbon monoxide detector of such manufacture, design and installation standards as are established by the council. Carbon monoxide detectors required by this section are required only where the dwelling unit has appliances, devices or systems that may emit carbon monoxide or has an attached garage.
