Baie-Comeau, July 2nd, 2020 - Engaging in outdoor activities is excellent for your health but the Direction de santé publique de la Côte-Nord would like to remind the population of the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning when using fuel-burning equipment (ex.: propane gas, oil, wood); these equipment emit carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that is colorless, odorless and tasteless. As a result, it cannot be detected, unless you have a detector that is specifically designed for this purpose.
