Carbon monoxide (CO) has been known to be “the silent killer” because it’s a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be deadly in enclosed spaces. According to the Mayo Clinic, “When too much CO is in the air, the body replaces the oxygen in the red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This can lead to serious tissue damage, or even death (Mayo Clinic, n.d.).” Carbon monoxide poisoning is always a threat for those regularly working in or around aircraft and vehicles. Fortunately, RKI I …
