Poll description: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a dangerous gas you cannot see or smell. It causes more than 150 deaths each year in the United States from accidents involving household products like generators.  

Snow can block your exhaust vents and chimneys, letting CO build up in your home. Ensure that your vents are clear of snow during and after snowstorms, as snow drifts can form.  

A blocked vent can also be a fire hazard, even if you only use an electric clothes dryer. Lint can catch fire from heat. Electric dryers do not produce CO, but keeping vents clear is essential for safety.
