Dangers in Partly Filled Silos Risk Death From Carbon Dioxide
Dairy chemist A. E. Perkins warns that silos in the early fermentation stage release carbon dioxide which can suffocate if the silo is left unsettled overnight. The gas is heavier than air and can fill an enclosed space after filling stops, turning a silo into a death trap. Opening doors to surface level and running a cutter or fan can disperse or mix the gas. First aid is fresh air and artificial respiration.
