CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMSIT’s THE LAW !
By Paul Brogan
In accordance with the existing Washington StateLaw, all multi-family residential structures must beequipped with CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMSeffective January 1, 2013.
WHY: According to national statistics fromCenters for Disease Control, carbon monoxide(CO) kills more than 500 people and accounts foran estimated 20,000 emergency department visitsannually in the United States. Washington Stateexperienced the dire effects of carbon monoxidepoisoning after powerful wind storms struck thePacific Northwest in December 2006. It isestimated that over 1,000 people in our state wereseen at hospital emergency rooms with symptomsof carbon monoxide poisoning, and eight peoplereportedly died of carbon monoxide exposure.
Carbon monoxide gas is released by theincomplete combustion of any fuel like natural gas,oil, kerosene, wood or charcoal. Gas stoves andfurnaces that are working properly and are well-vented don’t pose a hazard. But if thoseappliances malfunction, they can emit thedangerous fumes. Burning charcoal or running agenerator indoors is particularly risky because thegas can build up quickly in enclosed spaces. Thesame goes for running an automobile in a garage.
It’s helpful for the community to understand aboutcarbon monoxide, if it’s leaking in the building …it can kill your brain cells! Maybe it’s coming fromyour neighbor’s unit, you can’t smell or detect it!Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning includedizziness, headache, confusion, and nausea.People who suspect they are being exposedshould immediately open the windows, leave thehouse, and call 911.
MAINTENANCE: The installation &maintenance of a carbon monoxide alarm,including the replacement of batteries, is theresponsibility of the Resident.
REQUIRED LOCATIONS: Install at least onecarbon monoxide alarm outside of each separate
dwelling sleeping area in the immediate vicinity ofthe bedrooms and on every occupiable level of adwelling unit, including basements but excludingattics and crawl spaces.
POWER SUPPLY: In existing structures carbonmonoxide alarms may be battery operated, plug-in,or hard wired.
COMBINATION DETECTORS: A singlesmoke/carbon monoxide detector located in eachof the required locations is permitted.
References: RCW 19.27.530; WAC 51-51-0315;WAC 51-54-4603.8; NFPA 720 & UL 2034
If you have not yet installed the required carbonmonoxide alarms in your unit, they are available atmany hardware supply stores, such as HomeDepot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, Fred Meyer, Costco,and even Target. This is your responsibility to bein compliance with Washington State Law.

Aquatic Body Tune Up
Here are six reasons to choose theAquatic Body Tune Up Classas part of your exercise plan.
Class meets Monday, Wednesday & Fridays at noon.First class is free!
1. The Providence Point pool is located in your community. It’sjust a short ride AND the water is a comfortable 86 degrees.
16
2. Due to the physical properties of water people can exerciseand move in ways not possible on land.3. Water helps reduce inflammation and decreases pressureon any injured joint. Allowing the injured area to be exercisedmuch sooner.
4. Aquatic exercises increases blood supply to muscle, andcirculation of blood to all areas. This decreases pain, reduceshigh blood pressure, and allows the heart to function moreefficiently.
5. In the water, tolerance for exercise is greatlyincreased, participants exercise more frequently andindividuals reach goals quicker.
6. Water improves range of motion and flexibility. Themassaging effects allows muscles to relax, spasticity isreduced thus helping to relieve pain.
FROM THE LIBRARY:I put this sign up in the back room of the Library inFebruary, taped to the bookcase used fordonations. Few of us still have the capacity to playvideotapes and audiotapes, and I notice that veryfew are being checked out from the ProvidencePoint Library, and even fewer are found as returnsto the Traveling Library (now called “Library 2 Go”).
Although I still intend to keep some tapes in ourLibrary (and even add a few more— a veryfew—from our donation piles), I will continue to gothrough them periodically and weed out ones thathave not been used for some time. This processleaves many audiotapes and videotapes for thecoming book sale, and I have a problem in storingthem. Books are sent to a garage near the busgarage—a garage that probably becomes almostas cold and as HOT as the outside temperature.I’m not sure of the effects of cold on tapes, but Iwas warned long ago not to let videotapes get toohot, or the temperature could harm them. (Andyes, we have occasionally had some 90 degreedays in May!) Therefore, I try to keep the tapes forthe book sale in my small office, and I have runout of storage space there for them. I have severalbags in the back room of the Library, marked“Book Sale.” Since these have been sorted andcarefully packed in a bag or a box, I really don’twant to do that job again—and yet I have come tothe Library to find the bags no longer packedtightly, the way I left them, or with new items left
17
on top. All these videotapes will be available at thebook sale in June, but please leave them packed forthe sale in the meantime, and please keep yourdiscarded videotapes and audiotapes at home untilthe week before the Book Sale, when we will onceagain accept donations of tapes, to be placed in thesale!Nan Lopis, Librarian [email protected] 425-837-3704
