The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is concerned
about the hazard of acute residential carbon monoxide (CO)
exposures from portable gasoline powered generators that can result
in death or serious and/or lasting adverse health effects in
exposed individuals. As an initial approach to characterizing these
hazards, CPSC measured the emissions from generators by testing
them in a small test chamber (Brown 2006). CPSC subsequently
contracted with the University of Alabama (UA) to develop and
construct low CO-emission prototype generators using off-the-shelf
technologies installed on commercially-available portable
generators. Under an interagency agreement with CPSC, NIST
conducted a series of tests to characterize the indoor time course
profiles of CO concentrations resulting from portable generators
operating in the attached garage of a home under various use and
environmental conditions, to evaluate the performance of low
CO-emission prototype generators, and to provide model validation
data. The data was also used as input to a simulation analysis
conducted to examine the potential performance of the low
CO-emission prototypes under a wider range of operating conditions.
