Abstract
Carbon monoxide poisonings are a leading cause of unintentional home injury and are largely preventable through the appropriate use of carbon monoxide detectors. Given that laws to mandate installation of carbon monoxide detectors in homes are being considered and passed throughout the United States, it is imperative that we redouble our efforts to conduct comprehensive surveillance to examine the prevalence of residential carbon monoxide detectors, as well as morbidity and mortality due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Information that is gathered should then be used to evaluate the effect of policies on behavior and health outcomes and also to improve the effectiveness of promotion efforts. These efforts could substantially reduce injury and illness and death from carbon monoxide poisoning.
