What is Carbon Monoxide (CO)?
CO is a commonly found, insidious and deadly poisonous gas, produced when gas, oil, solid fuel appliances or even cars are in operation. Greater amounts are produced if there is inadequate ventilation/oxygen for the appliance to use, or if the appliance is not working properly, perhaps due to poor installation, lack of regular servicing or a chimney/flue blockage. CO can cause death or permanent injury to oxygen rich tissue such as the brain or heart.
Carbon Monoxide poisoning is often confused with flu or cold symptoms or the effects of modern living.
What are the danger signs?
For you, these could be the first signs of CO poisoning :
If you feel drowsy, overtired, have a headache, dizziness or nausea, or have pains in the chest or stomach – seek medical advice.
For your appliance: If your appliance has stains, soot deposits or is burning yellow/orange or smells of fumes/tends to go out – have the appliance serviced.
If your Carbon Monoxide Detector is activated by the presence of CO, the alarm will imediately sound. It is important that you switch off your Gas appliance, ventilate the room and contact a specialist immediately. Remember to have your appliances serviced at least once a year.
REMEMBER : If you feel overtired or even have a headache, CHECK THE DETECTOR – It could save your life.
