Preventing Carbon Monoxide

These days, there are many people who get damage from carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is usually a fatal gas. It has caused many tragic deaths all over the world. Because of this problem New York City made a law that all buildings should set a detector to announce an alarm at the leak of carbon monoxide. But we still have other problem. One of the problems is that we use many things that create carbon monoxide. For example, the car is one of the most common factors that create carbon monoxide. And factory also creates lots of carbon monoxide. However we also think about the victims who get the damage from carbon monoxide, because the law about the treatment of the victim of carbon monoxide is not strong.

There are some problems that have happened because of carbon monoxide. Therefore we need some solutions to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and the counterplan for victims of carbon monoxide.

First, we should try to develop machines that create less carbon monoxide. In our living, there are many things that create carbon monoxide. The car is one of the most important factors to create that. And we already developed the hybrid car, but it is more expensive than others. Therefore it is not easy to buy. So we should develop this kind of thing and try to use it more commonly.

Second, we should develop the detector so that it is stronger than before. There are many people who died because of carbon monoxide, even though they already installed the carbon monoxide detectors. The reason for their deaths is that they had a handicap about their hearing. Therefore they didn’t hear the alarm, so the detector should be stronger than before. And we should think about other weak parts of the detector, such as a kind of function while the handicapped person is sleeping.

Finally, the government should compensate the victims for their loss. They didn’t do anything wrong; they are just citizens who got the damage from carbon monoxide. Therefore the government should make a law about the treatment of the victims. For example, it is very expensive to treat them, so the government should supports their hospital fee. In addition, it is also needed to support their income, because they can’t do their work until they become well. Therefore, the government should make a law about their treatment.

In conclusion, there are many people who are endangered by carbon monoxide. Therefore the most important thing is to make some solutions, such as to reduce the carbon monoxide or to develop the detector. And the government has to make a counterplan for the victims.
