o MEDFORD MAII, TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE, Residents Warned of Improper Ventilation, Combustion of Fuels Portland-"Laek of ventila tion and improper combustion of fuels can team-up to create serious illness and death to unsuspecting individuals," Dr. R. H. Wilcox, state health offi cer, has warned residents. "Carbon monoxide, the product of improper combuS' tion, is an odorless, invisible . and poisonous gas," Dr. Wil cox emphasized. "Early symptoms of its pres- ence are headache, dizziness . and sleepiness, while later symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea and unconsci ousness. Carbon monoxide combines with the red blood cells 200 times easier than oxygen. When oxygen and an unusually large amount of carbon monoxide are inhaled together, the carbon monoxide displaces the oxygen, causing illness. If oxygen is complete ly cut off, death may result. he said. Any heating equipment fired by solid, liquid or gas fuel should be cheeked peri odically. Chimneys and flues should be kept in good repair and free of obstructions. Lines and connections for liquid and gas fuels should be checked for leaks.

Likewise, gas-fired dryers, water heaters and cooking equipment should be checked. Gas-fired oven should never be used as space heaters, espe cially at night when all mem bers of the household are asleep, he said. The automobile, too, is a prime producer of carbon monoKide, the doctor pointed out. The automobile should never be left running in a closed garage. Lethal concen trations of carbon monoxide can be built-up in a few mo ments under such conditions. It is equally dangerous to re main in a tightly-closed auto with motor running when it is standing still, Dr. Wilcox said. Carbon monoxide poisoning can easily be prevented by providing adequate ventila tion and keeping heating equipment and gas-fired appli ances properly vented and in good repair, Dr. Wilcox noted.
