4. Engine Emissions and CO Safety

The information provided in the following overview has been condensed to provide the reader with a summary of the material

presented.

Potential Effects of CO Exposure

•

Work place/industry guidelines for CO exposure limits vary substantially from region to region (OSHA)

Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for CO is 50 ppm, as an 8-hour time weighted average.

•

Definition of CO effects - The toxic effects of carbon monoxide in the blood are the result of tissue hypoxia (lack of

oxygen). The severity depends on the state of activity of the individual and his tissue oxygen needs.

Methods to Reduce the Risks of CO Poisoning

•

Air Exchange and CO Diffusion - CO does not mix with air on its own. Air currents can “stir” the CO and dilute the

concentration values by mixing it with the available air. When using equipment over a large area in a short time “stirring”

occurs as you walk.

•

Application Considerations (Burnishing versus Stripping) - When activity is concentrated to a smaller area as in a

stripping application, air “stirring” must be forced using fans to reduce the risk of high concentrations of CO.

•

Air Quality Monitoring –Deployment of a monitor/detector is essential for the safe operation of any equipment that

has the potential to produce CO.

•

Room Size and Time Estimations - The concentration and volume of CO production, the size of the area and the

amount of air exchange are factors involved with determining safe time limits for operation in a specific room size.

•

Maintenance of Equipment - LPG engines are dependent on engine tune up, and air filter replacement. CO concentration

(production) skyrockets when the air to fuel ratio becomes fuel rich. Follow the recommended Maintenance Schedule for

the engine.

•

Safety Equipment Available. - Automated fuel to air ratio monitoring and regulation providing an optimum combustion,

three-way type catalytic converter to scrub CO, Hydro Carbons (HC), and Nitrous Oxide (NOx) from the engine exhaust

providing the lowest possible emissions, high cubic feet per minute (CFM) fans (forced air mixing), and digital combustion

analyzers for tail pipe emissions monitoring.

Definitionof COeffects

Work place/industry guidelines for CO exposure limits

Limits for permissible exposure to CO vary substantially from region to region. City, State, and Industry requirements

should be consulted prior to use of any equipment.

The current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for CO is 50 ppm, as an

8-hour time weighted average (TWA). This is computed by making measurements at intervals over 8 hours, then adding the

sums of the concentrations and the intervals, and dividing by 8 hours. For example:

The current National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH), immediately dangerous to life and health

concentration (IDLH) recommended level for CO is 1,200 ppm. NIOSH defines the IDLH exposure level as the concentration

that could result in irreversible health effects or death, or prevent escape from the contaminated environment within 30 minutes.

Definition of CO Effects

The toxic effects of carbon monoxide in the blood are the result of tissue hypoxia (lack of oxygen). carbon monoxide combines

with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin. Since CO and oxygen react with the same group in the hemoglobin molecule,

carboxyhemoglobin is incapable of carrying Oxygen. The affinity ofhemoglobin for CO is200 to 240 times greater than for

oxygen. The extent of saturation of hemoglobin with CO depends on the concentration of the gas, the quantity of inspired air

and on the time of exposure. The severity depends on the state of activity of the individual and his tissue oxygen needs.

According to Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine 7th edition, no symptoms will develop at a concentration of 0.01% CO

(100ppm) in inspired air, since this will not raise blood saturation above 10 %. Exposure to 0.05% (500ppm) for 1 hour during

light activity will produce a blood concentration of 20% carboxyhemoglobin and result in a mild or throbbing headache. Greater

activity or longer exposure causes a blood saturation of 30 to 50 %. At this point head ache, irritability, confusion, dizziness,

visual disturbance, nausea, vomiting, and fainting can be experienced. Exposure for one hour to concentrations of 0.1%

(1000ppm) in inspired air the blood will contain 50 to 80% carboxyhemoglobin which results in coma, convulsions, respiratory

failure and death. On inhalation of high concentrations of CO, saturation of the blood proceeds so rapidly that unconsciousness

may occur suddenly without warning.

Air Exchange and CO Diffusion

The most reliable method to prevent CO Poisoning is to ensure all the CO produced is vented outside. With wood stoves or gas

heaters this is performed with ductwork that carries the exhaust and CO outside. Non-stationary combustion type equipment

must be used in such a way that CO is not allowed to rise to a harmful or dangerous level.

CO does not readily dissipate or mix with air on its own. Air currents can “stir” the CO and dilute the concentration or ppm

values by mixing it with the available air. When using equipment over a large area in a short time “stirring” occurs as you walk,

or to say it another way, your Effective Operating Zone is large. When activity is concentrated to a smaller area as in a stripping

application, the Effective Operating Zone is small, and “stirring” must be forced using fans to increase the Effective Operating

Zone and reduce high concentrations of CO.

Air exchange rates (air exchange is defined as the exhausting of internal air to the external atmosphere), the size of the

Effective Operating Zone, amount of CO produced, level of human activity, and the duration of exposure are all factors in the

determination of the production of carboxyhemoglobin and the amount of CO blood saturation.

Application considerations (Burnishing versus Stripping)

When using equipment over a large area in a short time, as in most burnishing applications, your Effective Operating Zone is

large. When activity is concentrated to a smaller area as in stripping applications, the Effective Operating Zone is small and

stirring or CO mixing MUST be forced using fans to increase the Effective Operating Zone and reduce high concentrations of

CO.

Caution: air mixing may not be sufficient to reduce CO to a safe level. The Effective

Operating Zone can be defined as the area covered in a given time.

Stripping is quite a different type of operation than burnishing, and carries with it substantially more hazards, as stripping is a low

movement operation compared to burnishing (less floor space for the same time). As shown in Model 1, the CO concentrations

rise much quicker as the “Effective Operating Zone” is a very small area compared to the total building size.

Air Quality Monitoring

Warning: Deployment of a monitor/detector is essential for the safe operation of any equipment that has the potential to

produce CO. CO sensors/detectors became available on the mass market around 1978. At present several brands sell in the

fifty-dollar range. The main differences between the technologies involved are battery or electric and Semiconductor or

Biomimetic types. Detectors for carbon monoxide (CO) are manufactured and marketed for use in either the home or

occupational industrial settings. The detectors for home use are devices that will sound an alarm before CO concentrations in

the home become hazardous. There is an Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., performance standard (UL 2034) for residential CO

detectors. Detectors currently available on the market are battery-powered, plug- in, or hard-wired. Some models incorporate a

visual display of the parts per million (ppm) concentration of CO present in the home. For more information on CO detectors for

home use, call the Consumer Product Safety Commission Hotline at 1-800-638-2772.

CO detectors for use in residential settings are not designed for use in typical workplace settings. Monitoring requirements in an

occupational setting are different from monitoring requirements in the home. In the workplace, it is frequently necessary to

monitor a worker’s exposure to carbon monoxide over an entire work shift and determine the time-weighted average (TWA)

concentration of the exposure. It may also be necessary to have carbon monoxide monitors with alarm capabilities in the

workplace. The direct-reading instruments are frequently equipped with audio and/or visual alarms and may be used for area

and/or personal exposure monitoring. Some have microprocessors and memory for storing CO concentration readings taken

during the day. It is significant to note that some of the devices mentioned for workplace CO monitoring are not capable of

monitoring TWAs, and not all are equipped with alarms. The appropriate monitor must be chosen on an application-by-

application basis. For more information on the availability of workplace CO monitors or their application, call the National

Institute for Occupational Safety and Health at 1-800-35- NIOSH(1-800-356-4674).

Room Size and Time Estimations for Parts Per Million (PPM) CO

The fundamental factors in area CO levels involve: The

concentration and volume of CO production; The size of the

area;

The amount of *air exchange if any; The amount of

time CO is produced.

Multiplying length, width, and height will determine the volume or cubic feet in a room. So, an empty building 100ft by 100ft

with a 10ft ceiling would be 100,000 cubic ft. in size. Any material that is in the room and takes space would reduce the cubic

feet.

*Air exchange is defined as the exhausting of internal air to the external atmosphere.
