Answer
Each year more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning. More than 20,000 will visit the emergency room and more than 4,000 are hospitalized due to CO poisoning.
If you hear your carbon monoxide detector beeping, most experts would recommend that you immediately call emergency services and get out of your home.
Ignoring carbon monoxide detectors can be dangerous. CO is an odorless and colorless gas, which is why it is often referred to as the "silent killer." When this alarm sounds (intermittent beeps) it means this gas has been leaking unbeknownst to you and has reached a dangerous level.
What do you do when the alarm (intermittent beeping) goes off? The first thing to do, DO NOT ignore the beeping of the alarm. Should you or others in your household experience any of the following symptoms indicating the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, or confusion, you must get to a hospital or call 9-1-1 immediately. And, DO NOT re-enter the home until emergency services has indicated it is safe to return.
On the other hand, if no one is showing signs or symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, go ahead and open all windows to get air ventilation. Next, turn off any appliances such as your gas-fired furnace or a running generator. After the home has gotten ventilation, reset the carbon monoxide detectors. If the detectors do not sound again, call a qualified technician to inspect and repair any problem. Should the alarm sound a second time (and no one is showing signs of CO poisoning, vent the home and call your local fire department. Emergency personnel will advise you when it is safe to return home.
