Updated: CO Fact Sheets

As part of a year-long carbon monoxide awareness (CO) effort, MiTracking has updated the Michigan Department of Health and Humans Services (MDHHS) CO fact sheets. Currently, two updates are available: Portable Generators and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning During a Power Outage. These fact sheets are available to download as PDFs. Future CO projects include a CO media campaign, website update and community outreach. CO poisoning is preventable!
