Anecdotally, this is also true for carbon monoxide. Generators can emit a large amount in some cases.
Some types of engines, turbines and chimneys are allowed to emit more pollution than others.
This will have significant implications for our #netzero future.

The weather is lovely so this is just a small reminder to never have a BBQ in an enclosed area, e.g. inside a tent or even under an awning. Also, even if coals are cold enough to hold with your bare hands, they can still emit significant amounts of carbon monoxide. #carbonmonoxide

Our research is currently all about carbon monoxide and its impact on health, but I find it is not really possible to not pay attention to wider air pollution patterns.

For anyone interested in why CO alarm levels matter (or, indeed, just want to know at which CO level your alarm will sound - hint, it needs a pretty high dose), I can recommend this white paper: www.ncoaa.us/resources/lo...

NCOAA is initiating an urgent call to action to lower the alarm set-point of CO alarms in the US to protect the health and safety of individuals across the nation.
