DENVER — Hydronics columnist Mark Eatherton has created a press release that should help CONTRACTOR readers publicize the importance of carbon monoxide testing in their local areas. The press release is posted on CONTRACTOR’s Website, at www.contractormag.com/articles/COpressrelease.doc.

Contractors can customize the press release by inserting their own company letterhead and contact information. They can distribute their customized press release to local media outlets such as community newspapers as well as TV, radio and cable TV stations.

Under the headline, “Possible Cure Found for Unintentional Carbon Monoxide Poisoning,” the consumer-oriented press release discusses statistics for carbon-monoxide-related deaths and injuries, symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, potential sources of carbon monoxide in the home, methods of protection from carbon monoxide poisoning and a list of safety tips.
