At the request of the United States Coast Guard (USCG), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) researchers evaluated carbon monoxide (CO) exposures on 16 recreational boats on Lake Norman, North Carolina. The boats were propelled by gasoline-powered engines; the cabin cruisers also used gasoline-powered generators to provide electricity. This study was performed for the USCG to better understand how CO poisoning can occur on recreational boats and to identify the most hazardous conditions. Exposures to high CO concentrations on recreational boats are the result of many factors; including an individual's location; type and make of boat; relative wind speed and direction; engine size and design; and the influence U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations have had on engine design.
