摘要: |
Under an interagency agreement with the United States Coast Guard, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) researchers evaluated carbon monoxide (CO) exposures on over ten recreational boats, and personal watercraft. Most of the evaluated boats were speed boats or cabin cruisers, ranging in age from new to 25 years old. These boats had gasoline-powered, propulsion engines, and the evaluated cabin cruisers used gasoline-powered generators to provide electricity. This investigation grew from a series of recent studies to reduce CO exposures and poisonings on houseboats. Epidemiologic investigations found that from 1990 to 2000, 111 CO poisonings occurred on Lake Powell, near the Arizona and Utah border. Seventy-four of the poisonings occurred on houseboats and 37 poisonings occurred on other types of recreational boats. NIOSH researchers are aware of 106 nationwide CO poisonings associated with recreational boats (non-houseboats). |
