Dear Friends,
During the winter, when doors and windows tend to be closed, the potential for CO buildup increases. Fuel-based heaters are used frequently with little to no ventilation, causing health hazards. Please be careful about the same.

Dear Ramesh,
Thank you for the post. I can share my experience. I had been abroad where the temperature used to be -5°C. We used to heat the room with a kerosene stove. We were given instructions to turn the stove off when the room was warm. If sometimes we continued heating the stove, the comfort level would drop. Later, when I started working on safety, I realized this fact.
Thanks again for the post, Mr. Ramesh.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and toxic gas. Because it is impossible to see, taste, or smell the toxic fumes, CO can kill you before you are aware it is in your home. At lower levels of exposure, CO causes mild effects that are often mistaken for the flu. These symptoms include headaches, dizziness, disorientation, nausea, and fatigue. The effects of CO exposure can vary greatly from person to person depending on age, overall health, and the concentration and length of exposure.
ALERT: Put generators outside.
Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, sheds, or similar areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these areas and can linger for hours, even after the generator has shut off.

Thank you, Mr. Ramesh, for creating awareness among our members. Now that winter is upon us, everyone is using room heaters in their homes. Please be careful when using such heaters. Even electric heaters can deplete the oxygen in the air, leaving only carbon monoxide, which can lead to suffocation and, ultimately, death.
When using a charcoal ignited heater in your room, ensure two things are planned properly. First, plan for proper exhaust for the fumes/flames. Second, keep an adequate quantity of water over the heater so that the water vapor can provide oxygen to the room, maintaining the oxygen level within the room.

Thanks Mr. Sudhir for sharing info.
Prevention is the Key to Avoiding Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
>DON’T idle the car in a garage
>DON’T use a gas oven to heat your home, even for a short time
>DON’T ever use a charcoal grill indoors -- even in a fireplace.
>DON'T sleep in any room with an unvented gas or kerosene space heater.
>DON’T ignore symptoms
You can’t see or smell carbon monoxide, but at high levels it can kill a person in minutes.
