Why Carbon Monoxide Poisoning From Generators Can Pose a Greater Threat Than Hurricanes

 A recent spate of hurricanes in the American South has brought up a new round of discussions on the effects of climate change on severe weather events. But an overlooked danger that hurricanes cause is the massively increased use of gas generators. And there is good reason to think that emissions from these generators lead to more deaths than the hurricanes themselves.

GoSun has always advocated the use of solar-powered devices to create carbon-neutral power. Our top-of-the-line product in this regard is Solar Table Back to the dangers of gas generators. According to a recent article from the Houston Chronicle, carbon monoxide poisoning from generators appears to have killed more people in Louisiana and Texas than Hurricane Laura itself. It claimed eight lives along the Gulf Coast, an area that the storm damaged several buildings and left 500,000 without power.

Consumer Reports says users should never run a generator in an enclosed space. It should be kept at least 20 feet from the home, with the exhaust directed away from the building. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas emitted by many portable generators. The National Institutes of Health say the gas can prove lethal in as little as five minutes by impeding the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.People are running generators indoors through very poorly ventilated areas,” Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said Friday. “That is just an ultra-hazardous thing to do. So I’m encouraging everybody: Until the lights come back on, please don’t do that.
