明尼苏达州正在向包括罗切斯特、杜卢斯和威尔玛在内的八个城市的高风险家庭分发2 500个免费一氧化碳警报器,作为全国范围预防中毒运动的一部分。 Minnesota is distributing 2,500 free carbon monoxide alarms to high-risk homes across eight cities, including Rochester, Duluth, and Willmar, as part of a state-wide campaign to prevent poisonings. 这项由联邦赠款资助的努力旨在确保居民有工作探测器,因为寒冷的天气增加了取暖系统的使用量。 The effort, funded by federal grants, aims to ensure residents have working detectors as colder weather increases heating system use. 明尼苏达州和蒙大拿州最近发生的事件突显了这一危险:在暴露于二氧化碳后,多人住院治疗,其症状被误认为是流感。 Recent incidents in Minnesota and Montana highlight the danger: multiple people were hospitalized after CO exposure, with symptoms mistaken for the flu. 官员们强调,CO是没有气味和致命的,只有工作警报才能及时发出警告。 Officials stress that CO is odorless and deadly, and only working alarms can provide timely warning.
