It is an important factor in carbon monoxide poisoning
life, which situations
Prone to carbon monoxide poisoning?
a).Carbon monoxide is produced by using firewood, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, coal, etc., for heating or cooking, due to insufficient combustionIt is the most important cause of carbon monoxide poisoning in the general public in China. Popular in recent yearsTea is boiled around the hearthCarbon monoxide poisoning due to poor ventilation is a similar situation.
2) Although the state has mandated the cessation of production and use of in-line water heaters (gas water heaters), some residents are still using them. In-line water heaters (gas water heaters).Oxygen is consumed during use, and when oxygen is insufficient, large amounts of carbon monoxide are produced, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.
c).Engines, diesel enginesCarbon monoxide leakage can also cause carbon monoxide poisoning. In recent years, there have been a number of poisoning incidents caused by carbon monoxide leakage from diesel (gas) engines in residential areas to residents' rooms.
Does carbon monoxide have a peculiar gas smell?
Whether it can be through the senses
Tell if there is carbon monoxide in the environment?
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and irritating after inhalationIt cannot be identified by the human senses。The smell in the use of gas by residents is the addition of thiol-based odorants as an early warning during the production process.
What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?
