Carbon monoxide poisoning case in court

The Georgia Supreme Court will hear a case today to determine if carbon monoxide is a pollutant.

A Griffin woman says she was poisoned by carbon monoxide at her rental home in 2002 and now suffers permanent damage.

She has sued her landlord. His insurance company refuses to pay, citing the policy doesn’t include bodily injury caused by pollutants.

The insurance company says the federal Clean Air Act specifically designates carbon monoxide as a pollutant, thereby releasing them of responsibility.
