• Abstract:
  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) recently completed a study of data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to obtain an estimate of the number of persons killed as a result of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning by exhaust gases of motor vehicles. This study focuses on the extent to which moving, as opposed to stationary, motor vehicles are involved in CO poisoning deaths. In addition, the study examined the proportion of accidental, i.e., unintentional CO deaths; the vehicle location for accidental CO fatalities involving stationary vehicles, and the season of the year in which the greatest proportion of accidental CO deaths occur. Data for calendar year 1993, the most recent year of data available from NCHS, were used in this study.
