I've a surplus wall mounted carbon monoxide(CO) detector which uses a wall-wart converter to 12 volts; I'd considered putting in "The FestivaL Car," at least since getting an exhaust leak suddenly; that was so overpowering within a few hundred miles I had to have the whole exhaust replaced prior to driving on during a road trip to the bay area from northern Humboldt.
I wonder how well such a device might work sensing atmospheric deadliness in the car: Either malfunctioning of the car itself, or from the general conditions on the road?*
Several years ago Dr. Bruce Berkowsky, Ph.D. whom I'd been assisting than, a macrobiotic nutritionist; had me read an amazing book about drinking due to environmental pollution: Which said the majority of heavy drinking is due to a quite compulsive need to flush the liver of toxicity from air-borne hydrocarbons; profusely typical of almost any industrial application, vehicle exhaust when petrochemical powered or any similar fuel, as well as almost all manufacturing and/or trade processes also, including any variety of detergents too whose fumes reach one.
One friend who'd had his own four stall shop for doing body and fender work, who'd always pound a couple beers between the kitchen and the back yard prior to using his spray booth; told me most if not everyone used to working with such a toxic environment has this as part of their habitual awareness. Mostly due to the anti-social aspects prevailing so often the effects are absurdly evident nearly universally.
In my own experience, depending upon the so to speak "volatility" one may subscribe for instance to JIM BEAM if conscientiously applying themselves in a residential situation, and more or less intensive spirits otherwise, depending.** The same exact function also causes cirrhosis of the liver eventually: Where the effects are dramatic to say the least, from a nearly or actually choking sensation, to suddenly a vast relief and capability to prosecute one's chosen events.
*Called the SAFE-T-ALERT, whose alarm goes off after reaching 150 pm within 50 minutes; this is supposed to be returned for service to MTI Industries, 31632 N. Ellis Dr #301, Volo, IL 60073; and is a model 60-511, stamped March 27, 2000.
There is a green LED signaling the unit is on, a flashing red LED display for low CO levels, and a solid red LED for high level CO contamination. The instructions say to test the device weekly, done by depressing a switch on the front which I'd rarely done. Installed as part of requisite low-income weatherizing done by a local agency in Eureka.
**Typically the habit is one sometimes occasioned by annoyance at using breath protection, commonly fouling communication not to mention the discomfort of those devices or even prophylactic regimens associated with such work. One friend Dan "Blink" Blincow doing floors had a fine old floor sanding machine, greatly advantageous since double the weight of any currently made; his father died using suffering emphysema finishing wooden floors.
Despite knowledge of and severe annoyance at his father's way of life and ultimate demise; my friend had, though a skilled practitioner at the use of breath protection; where this fundamentally involved significant others as several protagonists advocating use of breathing protection: Had found in actual work conditions he'd preferred the less attractive seeming alternatives; including though hardly limited to alcohol consumption, as well as a myriad of other life's surliest "condiments."
Someone heavily also involved in behalf of organized labor's fights with management; on various and sundry levels including the Olympia, WA "Latin-jazz-funk; world music-r&b" eight member band OBRADOR: Blink had been their "band boy" as sort of an euphemistic reference to his socializing skills as a person habitually plowed, yet with furrows far and wide along the straightest narrows. Always seen standing, at the rear of any venue, place or scene; the enveloping, caressing rhythms keeping him swaying musically at the peripheries of conscious flight.
