Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of burning carbon fuels and is deadly to people. Carbon monoxide can invade our home and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] can be especially deadly at night when you're asleep and won't realize you're getting sick. People with greater oxygen needs like pregnant women, babies, children, senior citizens and those with coronary/respiratory problems are more vulnerable to carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is invisible, as it's a gas dispersed in the air, and odorless and tasteless. This makes it difficult to detect carbon monoxide in your home unless you install a carbon monoxide detector.
Why Should You Worry About Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide accumulates in the blood and replaces the oxygen your [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] cells need to function, that is why it is dangerous to your health. When carbon monoxide (CO) is in the air, it goes through the blood and reveals symptoms similar [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to the flu like headaches, fatigue, nausea, confusion and irritability. As the level of carbon monoxide increases, there is vomiting, loss of consciousness and eventually brain damage or death can occur.
Where Does Carbon Monoxide Come From
Carbon monoxide is created whenever [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] fuel is burned, so let's look at the various items in your home that burn fuel.
• Gas or oil furnaces
• Gas hot water heaters
• Gas powered refrigerators
• Gas clothes dryers
• Gas stoves
• Space heaters that burn any type of fuel, not just gas
• Fireplaces and wood/pellet burning stoves
• Charcoal grills
• Gas powered outdoor equipment like lawn mowers [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and pressure washers
• Cars with [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] an engine running in the garage and fumes can enter the home through walls/doorway.
All of these appliances and home systems contribute a small amount of a CO that burn fuel (oil, natural gas, propane gas, wood or charcoal). [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] When they are not vented properly then it will contribute to a CO problem in a house. When you make your home more airtight for energy efficiency, make sure you maintain adequate ventilation to prevent a CO problem.
How to Minimize the Amount of Carbon Monoxide in Your Home
• It better to call a qualified home professional and have all fuel burning appliances installed.
• Schedule regular inspection for all fuel burning appliances like from [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] your home heating system to a gas powered hot water heater,
stove, etc.
• There are appliance or heating system [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, like direct vent gas fireplaces.
• Inspect fireplaces, wood stoves and chimneys to insure they are venting properly. You also need to have your chimney cleaned
professionally to prevent build-up which will [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] reduce ventilation.
• NEVER use a gas or charcoal barbeque indoors, no matter how nasty the weather is outside.
• NEVER start/run your car or gas powered equipment, i.e. lawnmower, snow blower, etc … in a closed garage.
