Bill > HRes934

This resolution supports the recognition of November 2025 as "Carbon Monoxide Action and Awareness Month" and aims to address the serious public health risks associated with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. The resolution highlights that carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that causes hundreds of deaths annually, with over 400 U.S. citizens dying each year and up to 30-40% of victims dying before reaching the hospital. Noting that 76% of CO poisoning cases occur in residential settings and approximately 86.2 million Americans lack CO detection systems, the resolution calls for increased awareness and prevention efforts. It encourages federal, state, and local agencies to collaborate with public health organizations and safety advocates, urges citizens to install and maintain certified CO alarms, and supports continued partnerships to promote healthy home environments. The resolution emphasizes the economic impact of CO poisoning, which costs over $1.3 billion annually, and commends first responders, medical professionals, and community educators for their work in preventing CO-related injuries and deaths.
