Ice surface machines that run on propane or natural gas release nitrogen dioxide or carbon monoxide emissions (even when machines are well maintained).

You avoid this potentially fatal risk with Conspec Control’s Detection Monitors. 24/7 Protection for Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Dioxide and Ammonia.

Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America. This odorless, tasteless, and colorless gas is known as the “Silent Killer.”* In a recent study, E:60° conducted a series of tests at 34 rinks in 14 states. Of the 28 rinks that used propane or natural gas resurfacers, nearly one-third were found to have dangerous levels of carbon monoxide or nitrogen dioxide levels.** Ice surface machines that run on propane or natural gas release emissions of these gases, even if well maintained. See a recent story/video (below) on air quality in ice rinks on ESPN Sports.
