CO Data
Several Michigan and national sources collect carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning data and provide it to the public. The data highlight the different ways CO exposure is found in our communities.
MICHIGAN
CO Surveillance Program
The MDHHS CO Surveillance Program collects data on cases of illness and death due to unintentional CO poisoning in Michigan. This program analyzes the data to identify high risk groups and trends in CO poisoning. The results are presented in the following annual reports:

Michigan Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (MiTracking) Data Portal
The MDHHS MiTracking program has data for emergency department visits and hospitalizations related to unintentional CO poisoning and CO exposures. This data represent how often people are using the health care system due to concerns about CO exposure. Access CO data on the MiTracking Data Portal.
NATIONAL
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (CDC Tracking)
CDC Tracking uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau, hospital and emergency department databases and death certificates to get state and local CO poisoning data. State-to-state comparisons about CO poisonings must be made carefully, since data collection and reporting methods vary by state. Access the CDC Tracking’s Data Explorer for unintentional CO poisoning.
National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Association (NCOAA)
The NCOAA has a national dashboard of CO-related deaths and injuries that are collected from media reports.
