The Effects of Carbon Monoxide<\/span><\/h2>\n

Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause a wide range of immediate health issues. These include persistent headaches, dizziness, physical weakness, nausea, chest pains, and confusion. These symptoms often occur within hours of a carbon monoxide leak. <\/span><\/p>\n

Inhaling CO gas can result in loss of consciousness and death. Long-term health risks for those who survive a toxic encounter include damaged heart muscles and respiratory problems. Thus, the risk of long-term injury or death is not something any homeowner should take lightly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
