CO2 Poisoning: The Silent Killer
Posted on 20th January 2020
Would you know the symptoms? Lucky for you we are on hand, to help you.
The GasSafe Register found that more than a quarter of Uk households are at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning as they havent taken steps to protect their home and loved ones. Shocking right?! Carbon monoxide is a 'silent killer' because you cant see it, smell it or taste it. Faulty or badly maintained appiances can put you and your family at risk.
The main syptoms are:
1. Headaches
2. Nausea
3. Breathlessness
4. Dizziness
5. Collapse
6. Loss of conciousness
What to do?
A simple check can identify a leak early. Get all appliances serviced regularly by a GasSafe Registered Engineer. A carbon monoxide alarm will alert you by sounding if it detacts gas, so getting one put in the home will help too.
