More people died from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in 2022 than any year since before 1999.
(True / False)
What is True?
2022 was a record of 624 people. Also, accidental carbon monoxide poisoning deaths from consumer products (mostly portable heaters) increased by 70% from 2009-today and is about 1/2 of these accidents (with the other 1/2 being cars and in-home furnaces). It is a silent killer (usually begins flu-like).
