Which U.S. states face the greatest risk from carbon monoxide and why?

In this data-rich session, UL Standards & Engagement will present findings from our groundbreaking U.S. State CO Risk Assessment Report, which explores state‑by‑state carbon monoxide risks. Sayon Deb and Anna  Schnerre will unveil a four‑tier framework—built on health outcomes, code requirements, and public awareness—highlight key detection and policy gaps and offer recommendations on how to mitigate carbon monoxide exposure risk at the state-level.

Following the presentation, Sayon Deb will be joined by New Hampshire State Fire Marshal Sean Toomey and Carma Hanson of Safe Kids Grand Forks for a fireside chat. Together, they’ll discuss how to turn data into action—highlighting simple, proven steps state can take to improve health outcomes related to CO poisoning and how individuals and organizations can get involved.

Improving health outcomes related to carbon monoxide poisoning requires more than awareness—it requires action. In this roundtable session, experts will explore practical, high-impact steps that states can take to reduce CO-related injuries and deaths. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, the discussion will highlight effective strategies grounded in data, equity, and real-world implementation—ranging from updating building codes and improving alarm enforcement to investing in surveillance systems and targeted public education.

Participants will gain insight into the policy levers available at the state level, examples of successful models, and how to support efforts that balance public health, feasibility, and long-term impact.
