To Prevent a Tragic Death of Carbon Monoxide - S/R #2

In “East Norwalk company garners awards for carbon monoxide detection systems”, R. Lee says that an East Norwalk company, Electronic Control Systems LLC, makes a carbon monoxide detection system. There are several thousand people who are damaged by carbon monoxide every year. However this detector will save many people from carbon monoxide poisoning. When a leak of carbon monoxide happens, the detector sounds an alarm to let us know that. In addition, it shows where it has leaked and cuts off the cause. It was invented by Winters, who was got damage by carbon monoxide. And it got many prizes for its safety aspect.

Many people have died because of carbon monoxide poisoning in the last several decades. Therefore carbon monoxide detector is one of the most important inventions in these days. So we should regard some factors to use it commonly. At first, the cost is the most important thing. Next, we should also think about the safety. Finally, the development should be continued.

First of all, the cost should be not expensive to use. It is an important factor for the common use. If the cost is expensive, people won’t want to use it. However like this mistake happened frequently in the market. For example, the solar power vehicle is very useful to save fuel and also good to keep the environment. But it is too expensive to be of practical use. In addition, the present technology can’t support making it cheaper. Therefore it can’t be used commonly in our lives before to set the cost suitable to make people buy it.

And then, the function should be more safe. Even if the cost is low, if the function is not complete, it is useless. In addition, it can cause more victims of carbon monoxide. For example, one company sells the detector for very cheap price. And many people and building owners set this machine. But if there are some problems, it may cause a tragic death. So the function should be complete because it relates directly with life.

Finally, the development of the detector should continue. There will be some risks; however, the detector is made completely. In Winters’ case, according to this article, he got the idea to cut off the furnace, from other technology. And his inventor became stronger. From this case, we can think about other things to make the detector stronger. And it will be helpful to save many lives from carbon monoxide poisoning.

In conclusion, the detector is necessary to prevent the tragic death. Therefore we should try to make its use more common. And also try to develop the detector to be more safe and make its function strong. It can save lives from carbon monoxide poisoning.
