face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>BALTIMORE, MD (February
23, 2010) – <span style='background:aqua'>Beginning on March 1, Baltimore City
will require carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to be installed in residential
dwellings, hotels and buildings used for living or sleeping.</span> Today,
Baltimore City Health and Fire officials joined with The Johns Hopkins Center
for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP), based at the Bloomberg School of Public
Health, to warn residents of the health dangers of CO poisoning, to share
prevention tips and to urge compliance with the new law. Since 2000, more than
25 people have died in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Baltimore</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">City</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> as a result of CO
poisoning.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“Studies have shown
that cities with CO detector ordinances have lower reported case fatality rates
than in cities without ordinances. We thank the city council for passing this
important ordinance requiring CO detectors installed in all city dwellings, helping
us keep our families safe,” said Interim City Health Commissioner Olivia
Farrow.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>City Councilman James
Kraft (District 1) sponsored the ordinance, which requires the installation and
maintenance of carbon monoxide alarms in all new and existing residential
dwellings, hotels, motels, boarding or rooming houses, or other structures
where people live or sleep. The law applies to dwellings that use gas- or
fossil fuel-burning furnaces or appliances. Residents should take care to
follow manufacturer specifications when installing a new alarm to ensure
effective protection.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“I cannot emphasize
enough how prevention is essential. All poisonings from CO are easily
preventable with CO detectors, and this ordinance is therefore designed to save
lives,” the councilman said. The ordinance follows the February 13th sickening
of six passengers on a cruise ship docked in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Baltimore</st1:place></st1:City> .<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Because CO is odorless
and colorless, safeguards such as home CO detectors are essential in detecting
leaks before they cause symptoms. Mild CO poisoning can cause nausea, headaches
or shortness of breath; prolonged exposure to CO can cause dizziness,
confusion, severe headaches, severe nausea, faintness, and death if treatment
is not sought. Malfunctioning furnaces and other appliances that burn fuels are
common culprits of home CO leaks. From 2008 through 2009, the Baltimore City
Fire Department responded to more than 3,600 CO poisoning calls.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“Like many injuries
that occur in the home, CO poisoning can be prevented. By installing a CO alarm
in the hallway near every separate sleeping area of their home, people can keep
themselves safe,” said Eileen McDonald, director of The Johns Hopkins
Children’s Safety Centers, which are run by CIRP.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3

<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3
face="Bookman Old Style"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>To speed the conversion
of city homes into safer residences, Kidde, a leading manufacturer of
residential fire safety products, has donated 250 free CO alarms that will be
distributed to City residents who demonstrate financial need. The devices will
be available on a first-come, first-serve basis at Johns Hopkins Children’s
Safety, located inside Children’s Admitting at the Johns Hopkins Children’s
Center. The center is open Monday – Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; the
phone number is (410) 614-5587.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
