Generators produce carbon monoxide when used indoors or in poorly ventilated areas because they burn fuel without enough fresh air. Seminole County reminds residents that carbon monoxide, or CO, is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas that is highly poisonous. The Florida Department of Health recommends the following precautions:
Have enough fuel on hand and ensure the stored fuel is not too old or degraded.
Test your generator for an extended period of time to make sure it works or have a professional inspect it.
