NOTE TO ADULTS/OLDER CHILDREN: KnowCO For Kids is a 7-step lesson written especially for younger children, with simpler words, bigger and more lively text, but with the same basic concepts- what CO is, how it affects the body, and how it can be avoided. Parents are encouraged to guide young kids (recommended age here: 7-12) through the steps, answering any questions and defining some of the "big words," literally.

IF YOU ARE A KID, READ HERE: Welcome to KnowCO For Kids, a program just for you. By clicking on any of the steps on the left, you can learn a lot about CO and CO poisoning, a very serious illness that you can help stop. At the end of the steps, you should be able to tell your parents:

- what CO is,
- where
CO comes from,
- why
CO is so bad,
-
symptoms of CO poisoning, and
- how to avoid
CO poisoning.

You should learn this along with your parents, and you or they can find out even more about CO poisoning at the main KnowCO page.
