About SilentShadow.org

SilentShadow.org publishes practical, evidence-based education about carbon monoxide (CO) risks and prevention. Our goal is to help people recognize common exposure scenarios, understand what authoritative guidance says, and take safer next steps.

Who This Site Is For

This site is for the general public — homeowners, renters, travelers, and anyone who wants clearer CO safety information. We focus on real-world safety questions: alarms, common sources, warning patterns, and what to do when exposure is suspected.

What We Are (and What We Are Not)

• We are an educational safety resource that summarizes and links to authoritative guidance.
• We are not a substitute for emergency services. If you suspect an active CO hazard, move to fresh air and call your local emergency number or fire department.
• We do not provide personalized medical advice or diagnoses. For health concerns, seek professional care.

How We Create Content

We prioritize primary sources such as public health agencies, consumer safety regulators, national health services, building/fire safety organizations, and major medical reference resources. We write in plain language and include Sources sections on key pages so readers can verify information directly.

For more detail, see our Editorial Policy.

Updates and Corrections

When guidance changes or we find an error, we revise the page and update the "Last updated" date. If you spot something that looks wrong or outdated, please contact us with the page URL and a supporting reference.
