Storm Surge- Generator use during Superstorm Sandy resulted in numerous carbon monoxide poisonings and deaths

摘要

FIREFIGHTERS RESPONDING to a 911 call at Gracie Dunston's New Jersey home in November found her unconscious on the second floor. Dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO) were detected in the house, prompting medics to rush her, three adults, and four children to a nearby hospital. Dunston, 59, never regained consciousness, and the others were treated for symptoms of CO poisoning. The culprit was a generator placed in the basement that spewed deadly fumes throughout the home, according to The Times of Trenton.
