[net.auto] Carbon Monoxide Exposure

lute@abnjh.UUCP (J. Collymore) (02/16/84)

Can anyone out there tell me what the symptoms are to prolonged exposure to
carbon monoxide and/or other car exhaust gases?

Recently a hole was found in a pipe near the engine.  This pipe takes exhausts
from the engine.  One morning, when I had trouble starting my car, the driver
compartment filled with fumes, and that's when I noticed the hole in the pipe.
From the looks of the hole, it must have been developing for some time.  I am
concerned that I may have been getting a moderate dose of these fumes for a 
while (since I have a daily commute of 66 miles, this exposure could have been 
considerable).

So if anyone can give me information on anything I might expect to be experinc-
ing from possible exposure, please send me mail.


Thanks.

p.s.  I had a weld patch put over the hole the same day I discovered it.
