Carbon monoxide poisoning may be rare on Utah waterways, but the potential risk can be deadly.
HUNTSVILLE, Weber County – Ranger Travis Hancock keeps an eye out for all kinds of problems on the waters of Pineview Reservoir in Weber County. He gets really concerned when he sees kids hanging out near the back of boats.Carbon monoxide is an invisible odorless gas that comes with any gasoline-powered engine. In a matter of seconds, anyone breathing carbon monoxide can go from feeling normal to unconscious or worse.
Dr. Lindell Weaver, director of hyperbaric medicine at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, warns about carbon monoxide, an invisible odorless gas that comes with any gasoline-powered engine and can be dangerous on waterways. "I treated two children; they were being towed by a boat at a very slow speed," he said, "and the exhaust came up and poisoned both of them. With severe poisoning, you are killing part of your brain."
