PUBLIC SAFETY: Carbon Monoxide Safety Tips from NYSEG With the heating season upon us, here are a few safety tips to keep you and your family safe from the dangers of carbon monoxide: Are you feeling okay? Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause flu-like symptoms, including headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea and loss of muscle control or worse. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is the product of incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen in a matter of minutes. Protection is as easy as having your heating system, chimney, flues and vents checked once a year by a professional. Take protection to the next level by installing a carbon monoxide alarm. If you suspect a natural gas leak or carbon monoxide problem, get up, get out and get away! Then call 1.800.572.1121 or 911 immediately from a safe location.
