π Approximately 50,000 people in the United States alone, are admitted to the hospital due to Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning annually. π The dangers of CO poisoning in automobiles are equally as deadly as those in closed confined spaces at home as the affects & outcome are generally the same. π π‘ In homes, carbon monoxide is produced by devices that burn fuels. Your furnace, water heater, stove, space heaters, fireplace, woodstove, charcoal grill, and dryer can be sources of CO, especially if they are not in good working condition or have been installed without proper ventilation. π CO is colourless, tasteless, and odourless, making detecting it difficult. π Binding with your red blood cells, it starves your body of oxygen after passing into your lungs. Disorientation and unconsciousness can occur and eventually, be deadly without appropriate and prompt treatment. π©Έ βοΈ There is however a very simple and affordable solution! π’ You can promptly detect CO poisoning from within your home by just installing a CO detector / monitor. They are available for usually under RM1000 (each unit) and some are often on discount when purchased online for almost half the amount. π By installing a carbon monoxide detector on each floor of your home, preferably in a central location such as your hallway or landing, you would be able to visually and audibly hear a warning should there be a leak in an appliance at home. PRO-Tip: Do not place the detector near a fireplace or flame-producing appliance. βοΈ Save >40% on Home Insurance with Home Easy by Tune Protect.
