It might not be the sexiest topic we’ve ever covered (and by “might”, we mean “definitely”), but there are some things you just need to learn about and this deadly and undetectable gas that’s part of our everyday lives is one of them. So buck up.
# Stuff You Should Know: Carbon Monoxide
This episode is a full-blown public service announcement about carbon monoxide, the "silent killer" that's odorless, colorless, and far more common than you'd think. Josh and Chuck break down exactly why CO is so deadly to humans—spoiler alert: it's 210 times more attractive to your blood than oxygen—and explore all the sneaky ways it enters our homes, from unvented space heaters and kerosene burners to car exhaust in attached garages and portable generators after disasters. They also dive into some surprising history of how scientists discovered this poison all the way back to the 13th century, and explain what you can actually do to protect yourself and your family.
