摘要: |
On May 24 and 25, 2004, researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted an evaluation of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions and exposures on a gasoline-powered, inboard ski boat that was equipped with a Fresh Air Exhaust (FAE) carbon monoxide control system. The FEA system is a recently developed device that can be used on inboard ski boats to reroute engine exhaust from directly behind the boat near the water surface to approximately 14 inches below the water directly behind the propeller. The manufacturer has collected data showing that this device effectively removes CO from the air in the vicinity of the stern of the boat, as well as at numerous distances behind the boat. The current evaluations occurred on a ski boat operating on Lake Austin, Austin, Texas with and without the FAE system. |
