AUTO OWNERS TOLD
OF DANGERS LURKING
IN CARBON MONOXIDI
Voicing a warning against the
deadly effects of carbon mon
oxide gas, present in the ex
haust of automobiles, the Uni
ted States Bureau of Mines
sets forth the following rules:
(Never run automobile en
gine in closed or poorly ven
tilated garage.
Never work under machine
with motor running even in
open air.
Never close all car windows
with engine running, even in
open air.
■It is not true that the air in
a closed garage is safe so long
as a gas engine continues to
run.
Move a victim of carbon mon
oxide poisoning into the open
air; supply artificial respira
tion; give him oxigen; mas
sage his limbs; keep him warm
and quiet.
PITTSBURGH. June 24. (£>)—VVitii
hundreds of thousands of automo
biles being put into use in the Uni
ted States during the summer
months, the United States Bureau ol
Mines gas experts, stationed at
Pittsburgh, have again sounded a
warning to the motorists to exercise
caution to prevent serious sickness
and death from the deadly gas from
motor exhaust, carbon monoxide. The
gas experts at the bureau, R. R.
Sayers and W. P. Yant, point out
that the widespread use of motor
cars in the summer time naturally
means many repair jobs on motors,
and it is while working on automo
bile machines in closed garages that
many carbon monoxide fatalities oc
cur.
These experts, who delve into the
mysteries of ther deadly gas, have a
list of “don’ts”' for motorists, as well
as a list of “remedies” when the
“don’ts” are disregarded by care
less automobile operators: The
“don’ts” include:
■Guard against running an auto
mobile engine in a poorly ventilated
or closetl garage.
Do not work under a machine with
the motor running, even tho it is
in the open air.
Sitting in a closed car with the
engine running is dangerous; always
have the windows open.
Persons wishing to avoid this dan
gerous gas must see to it that their
garages are well ventilated. They
should avoid exposure to carbon mon
oxide and, where it is necessary to
come into contact with it, protective
equipment should be provided.
A victim of the gas should be
taken into the fresh air as soon as
possible. If the breathing has stop
ped, artificial respiration must be ap
plied. For this purpose pure oxy
gen with five per cent carbon diox
ide, to be given for about 20 min
utes. The patient’s limbs should be
massaged, to restore and increase
circulation, and the body should be
kept warm. The victim must rest,
avoiding any exertion whatever.
Carbon monoxide is doubly dan
gerous, the experts say, because it
is hard to detect it in the air. It
has no odor and is tasteless. Symp
toms are readily found, however. A.
slight case finds the victim suffering
from headache. As the percentage
of carbon monoxide in the blood in
creases the headache becomes more
severe. The victim’s legs weaken and
respiration increases. Then comes
a collapse, followed by unconscious
ness, and finally death.
The dangerous fallacy that the at
mosphere in a closed garage is safe
as long as an automobile engine con
tinues to function, has been disprov
, ed by tests. A dog was placed on the
i front seat of a touring car in a clos
ed brick garage, and the motor was
allowed to idle. After 20 minutes
opei at ion the animal lost conscious
ness. At that time the air showed
1.3 per cent carbon monoxide. The
engine was allowed to run until it
stopped from lack of air at the end
ol two hours, wrhen the percentage
of gas was 2.1, enough to cause in
stant death.
This incident the experts cited in
order to impress motorists that they
should not permit their motors to
idle in the garage while they return
to the house to obtain some forgot
ten article.
