Pericol în casă! Nu porniți aceste două electrocasnice în același timp: vă poate pune viața în pericol! • Newsweek România
As the heating season begins, the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increases due to the simultaneous use of kitchen hoods or bathroom fans with gas water heaters. This can create negative pressure, causing harmful gases to re-enter the living space instead of being vented outside. Older gas heaters, which draw air from the room, are particularly at risk. Proper ventilation is crucial, especially in older apartments where window replacements may disrupt airflow. Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, making it undetectable without a detector. Symptoms of poisoning include headaches and dizziness, and severe cases can lead to confusion or unconsciousness. Regular inspections of gas appliances and chimneys are recommended, along with the installation of carbon monoxide detectors for safety.
