CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Chicago police officer is dead and a woman is in critical condition after they were both exposed to carbon monoxide Tuesday at a home on the Northwest Side, police confirmed.
Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner's office have identified the off-duty officer as 36-year-old Xu Meng.
Meng and a woman, 29, were found unresponsive Tuesday just before 8:00 p.m in an Albany Park home in the 3900-block of West Ainslie Street.
"The police told me he had been two plus hours late to pick up his son up so they did a check. I don't know if he was also gonna be starting his shift cause he's a police officer and so they were worried," neighbor David Graubard said.
Chicago Fire officials said they responded to a carbon monoxide alarm in the same block.
Both victims were taken to Swedish Covenant Hospital. Meng was pronounced dead at the hospital and the woman was in critical condition, police said.
关于夏天的用车安全，每年提及最多的除了自燃，不要把孩子落在车里以外，还有一点大家非常容易忽视，那就是开空调在车内睡觉。要知道这一行为不亚于慢性自杀，出现的意外情况，每年在全国各地都屡见不鲜。
而就近日，在湖南怀化，两名男子在车内因大脑缺氧窒息身亡，就是因为开着空调关紧窗户在里边睡觉。有很多司机朋友都不解，为什么关紧门窗，开空调在家里睡觉没事，而在车内就有危险呢？
因为车辆在怠速的时候，由于汽油不能完全燃烧，就会产生一氧化碳。万一车窗都紧闭着，那么产生的一氧化碳会比行车时高出10多倍，随着时间的推移，它就像煤气中毒事故一样，慢慢的潜入人体。
即使是打开空调外循环，由于人体呼吸等原因，密闭的空间一样会产生大量的二氧化碳，会对人体造成威胁。所以，天气过热，我们打算在车内开空调休息的时候，必须记得要把车窗玻璃降下来一些。
但开车在外，需要休息的场地并不是固定的，但也尽量不要选择在一个狭小的空间停放，因为空间小的地方更容易造成一氧化碳堆积。比如地下车库空气流通行差，氧气也不如地面充沛，所以休息的时候还是选择空旷的地方。当然，迫不得已并不建议在车上睡觉。
另外，我们日常使用汽车空调的时候，建议开内循环一段时间后，要开外循环，让外面的新鲜空气补充下，对我们或者对车子都是有好处的。
现在你每天灌完水还要摆多久地摊才够花?

谁告诉你一氧化碳是从车内换气口排出来的？
车内空间小，紧闭窗户就是自己把自己闷死。

上星期芝加哥有位华人警察也出了这事。开燃油车，确实要小心一氧化碳中毒。
