冬季风暴引发CPSC警告:安全使用发电机避免一氧化碳中毒。 Winter storms prompt CPSC warning: Use generators safely to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

当冬季风暴袭击美国时,消费者产品安全委员会警告在停电期间使用的燃气发电机产生一氧化碳的危险。 As winter storms hit the U.S., the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns of carbon monoxide dangers from gas generators used during power outages. 每年有400多人死于CO中毒,其中92人与便携式发电机相关联。 Over 400 people annually die from CO poisoning, with 92 linked to portable generators. CPSC建议发电机在离家至少20英尺以外的地方运行,确保排气排出,并使用具有CO安全关闭功能的模型。 The CPSC advises operating generators at least 20 feet away from homes, ensuring exhaust is directed away, and using models with a CO safety shut-off feature. 应在每一层次和每个卧室安装相互连接的烟雾和CO警报器。 Interconnected smoke and CO alarms should be installed on each level and in every bedroom. 避免在室内使用蜡烛、木炭搅拌机或其他燃气器;改用电池照明灯。 Avoid using candles, charcoal braziers, or other gas appliances indoors; use battery-operated lights instead.
