Carbon monoxide poisoning during the heating season

Cases of carbon monoxide poisoning were caused by the circumstances associated with violations of fire safety requirements during the operation of faulty furnace and gas equipment (clogged chimney, burnouts and cracks in the furnace structure).

Thus, all the facts of carbon monoxide poisoning are associated with the negligent attitude of citizens to heating devices (neglect of fire safety requirements and improper operation), which increases the number of people injured from carbon monoxide, and often people are poisoned not alone, but by whole families, where there are children.

And in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, residents of the Karasai region should follow simple rules:

- observe elementary fire safety measures during the operation of electric heating devices and stove heating devices;

- check and repair ovens in homes;

- regularly clean chimneys and stoves from soot accumulated in them;

- do not install or use devices that burn fuel without sufficient knowledge, skills and tools;

- do not burn charcoal in the house, tent, car or garage;

- do not use non-ventilated gas appliances in a closed room or in the room where you sleep;

- do not use a gas stove, oven or dryer to heat the room.
