Man taken to hospital after falling ill at work
Thursday, August 14, 2008

TRENTON -- Carbon monoxide sickened one man in an industrial building on Meade Street on Tues day morning, fire officials say.

People inside the mixed occu pancy building reported a strong odor and feeling ill, which prompted the dispatch of the fire department's hazardous materials unit just after 11 a.m.

Upon arrival, Battalion Chief John Panacek said firefighters no ticed the odor, but determined it was not to blame for the symptoms.

Trenton EMS took one man experiencing difficulty breathing to Capital Health System at Fuld, Panacek said, and air testing registered high carbon monoxide levels in the area the man was working.

Panacek said the area lacked ventilation, and was near where delivery trucks would be idling. The carbon monoxide levels were not very high, he added, and so he suggested the owner get carbon monoxide detectors.

The sickened man was undergoing blood work at the hospital, and doctors were advised of the carbon monoxide condition. Panacek said the odor came from large quantities of mechanic's body putty being repackaged in the building
