It could happen anywhere a farmer relaxes his vigilance, even for a few moments. Following the recent deaths of three Gananoque men. over- come by nitrogen dioxide while filling a silo with corn, the Farm Safety Association has urged farmers to be extremely caut- ious while doing similar work. The deaths occurred after a fan being used for ventilation ceased functioning. A man who had been working in the silo collapsed and two others fell victim to the lethal gas when they attempted rescue. The safety association has pointed out nitrogen dioxide can form within hours after a silo is filled and can remain in the structure for as long as two weeks. People should be kept clear of a silo after it has been filled, the association stressed. The gas is heavier than air and silo chute doors should be kept closed to prevent contamination of other areas. When a silo must be entered when gas could be present, blower, self-contained breathing apparatus, and lifeline should be used. Silo gases probably cause more farm deaths than generally realized, the association says. Many heart attacks, strokes, and pneumonia cases may be the result of gas exposure. Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide as low as 150 parts per million can be dangerous.
