The results of this work may be applicable for further development of carbon monoxide sensors for fire detection at its earlier stages. | |
29 Citations | The non-invasive pulse CO-oximeter could be a major triage tool for identifying unsuspected carbon monoxide poisoning among patients with nonspecific symptoms. |
Carbon monoxide detectors with alarms can improve home safety and their use is recommended by various safety organizations. | |
13 Citations | Increased public education, especially for minorities and lower income populations, is necessary regarding the use of carbon monoxide detectors for poisoning prevention. |
94 Citations | This article describes a new, inexpensive, portable analyzer for measuring expired-air carbon monoxide --the Bedfont EC50. |
These sensors show good, repeatable and reversible response to carbon monoxide at room temperature. | |
Carbon monoxide detectors, whether the electronic or chemical reagent types, may have prevented approximately half of these deaths. | |
47 Citations | The results of this work may be applicable to further development of carbon monoxide sensors for fire detection at its earlier stages. |
20 Citations | Installation and proper maintenance of carbon monoxide alarms in dwellings and outhouses, for example, and education not only of the public, but also of health and other professionals as to the danger posed by carbon monoxide could help prevent such deaths. |
14 Citations | The results are consistent with the growing body of evidence that carbon monoxide has a general rate-decreasing effect but no specific effect on measures of temporal discrimination. |
101 Citations | The results show that improved fire-detection capabilities can be achieved over standard smoke detectors by combining smoke measurements with CO measurements in specific algorithms. |
13 Citations | The authors conclude that fixed outdoor CO monitors are not, in general, providing useful estimates of carbon monoxide exposures of urban residents. |
