• Description:
  At the request of the U.S. Coast Guard, an interagency team (comprised of representatives of the National Park Service, the US Department of Interior, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) investigating boat-related CO poisonings compiled a listing of CO poisonings occurring across the United States. The last update of the listing compiled by the interagency team was dated October 2004.
  
  This update was prepared by the Double Angel Foundation CO Awareness Committee (www.doubleangel.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing ongoing awareness of the dangers of CO poisoning on boats. The newly identified poisonings added to the October 2004 listing are presented at the beginning of each section in blue font. Throughout the listing, information new to the update (such as updated numbers, or information added to text about poisonings that were in previous listings) are also in blue font.
  
  This should not be viewed as a complete list of boat-related CO poisonings that have occurred, but rather as a listing of poisonings we have been able to identify through a number of sources.
