Effects of Carbon Monoxide

Picture
The Silent Killer
Carbon Monoxide is a deadly gas that you cannot see or smell.  Exposure to even low levels can cause brain damage or worse... death.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure can include
  • Drowsiness
  • Nausea
  • Chest Pains

Carbon Monoxide can be produced where an appliance has been incorrectly installed or the flue liner has become blocked.  Tell-tale signs are soot in and around the appliance, a yellow/orange lazy flame and excess condensation.
Simple steps for Carbon Monoxide safety
Fit a carbon monoxide alarm and regularly test (in the same room as the appliance)
Ensure your chimney is swept regularly to the industry standard
If you live in rented accommodation insist on seeing your landlords Gas Safety certificate for the property.
