Carbon Monoxide & Other Gases - Testing & Monitoring Services
Carbon monoxide is often called the “silent killer” – its victims cannot see it, smell it or taste it. It is an invisible, odorless gas that can poison, and even kill you. Carbon monoxide is generated from any combustion process. Indoor areas can quickly exceed acceptable levels if exhaust gas cannot be controlled or equipment is malfunctioning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carbon Monoxide & Other Gas Testing & Monitoring
When inhaled, carbon monoxide blocks the body’s ability to absorb oxygen. The gas is odorless and invisible. Workers may not know they are in danger until it’s too late. How fast symptoms develop depends on various factors. How active workers are, how long they’ve been exposed, and the concentration of carbon monoxide all matter. Headache and nausea are the first symptoms. A coma and then death can follow.
The Occupational Health and Safety Code – Schedule 1 Chemical Substances lists the Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) for many harmful substances including many gases. These OELs are established to which it is believed a normal worker can be exposed during a determined period with no adverse health effects. Site assessments will determine the exposure level in the workplace which is then compared to the Alberta limits.
