马里兰州贝塞斯达消费品安全委员会发冬季风暴安全提示：便携发电机一氧化碳年均夺约100命，取暖器须离可燃物3英尺
马里兰州蒙哥马利县贝塞斯达市消息—美国消费品安全委员会（CPSC）在冬季风暴与严寒天气威胁全国多地之际发布安全提示，提醒家庭防范一氧化碳中毒与火灾。据 CPSC，便携式汽油发电机排出的一氧化碳可在数分钟内致命；按其最新《非火灾一氧化碳死亡》报告，全美每年平均约100名消费者死于便携发电机相关的一氧化碳中毒。
CPSC 在提示中列明：切勿在住宅、车库、地下室、爬行空间、棚屋或其他封闭空间内运行便携发电机，开门开窗也不足以防止致命浓度的一氧化碳积聚；不要在室内烧炭取暖或烹饪；大雪后应清除熔炉等燃燃料设备室外排气口的积雪，以免一氧化碳倒灌入屋。
便携取暖器方面，CPSC 提示：取暖器四周须与床、衣物、窗帘、纸张、沙发等可燃物保持至少3英尺距离，放置于平稳、不易被碰倒的表面，不得在密闭空间内无人看管运行；电取暖器应直接插入墙面插座，不得使用接线板，也不得把电源线压在地毯下；使用时须留意儿童与宠物。CPSC 的一氧化碳安全中心页面（英文与西班牙文）汇总了报警器安装与应急处置信息。
CPSC Issues Winter Storm Safety Tips in Bethesda, Maryland: Portable Generator Carbon Monoxide Kills About 100 People a Year, Heaters Need 3 Feet of Clearance
BETHESDA, Montgomery County, Maryland — As winter storms and freezing temperatures threaten millions across the country, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued safety tips to help families prevent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and fires. According to CPSC, CO poisoning from gasoline-powered portable generators can kill in minutes, and an average of about 100 consumers die in the United States each year from CO poisoning from portable generators, according to the agency's latest report on non-fire carbon monoxide deaths associated with consumer products.
CPSC states that a portable generator must never be operated inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace, shed or other enclosed space, and that opening doors or windows will not provide enough ventilation to prevent the buildup of lethal levels of CO. It also advises never using charcoal indoors, and clearing snow away from the outside vents of fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces so that dangerous carbon monoxide does not build up in the house.
For portable heaters, CPSC advises keeping all sides of the heater at least 3 feet from beds, clothes, curtains, papers, sofas and other items that can catch fire; placing the heater on a stable, level surface where it will not be knocked over; never leaving a portable heater running unattended in a confined space; always plugging electric portable heaters into a wall outlet — never a power strip — and never running the cord under rugs or carpeting; and being mindful of children and pets around portable heaters. CPSC's Carbon Monoxide Safety Center pages, in English and Spanish, collect its alarm and emergency guidance.
