Invisible, odourless and tasteless - carbon
monoxide (CO) is the deadly gas which lives up to its name as the silent killer. Exposure
to relatively low levels of this highly poisonous gas can cause brain damage or death.
You cannot see it, smell it or taste it but
if left undetected, it is deadly. Symptoms of CO poisoning are similar to those of viral
infections and include drowsiness, weakness, headaches, nausea and pains in the chest. If
anyone in your house has any of these symptoms when using a gas appliance, stop using the
appliance until it has been checked by a CORGI registered installer and consult
a doctor. |
