Carbon monoxide is known to be a silent killer because you cannot
predict the presence of CO, as it is odourless and colourless, and a common man
will breathe in the polluted air without knowing that he is filling his heart
and lungs with the deadly gas. It is
sad that many people die due to the lack of awareness regarding simple
precautions that could have prevent their sudden death. It is essential to keep on mind that all such
mishap can be prevented in the future by installing Carbon monoxide detector at all such places
where combustion of fuel takes place.
If, the fuel is not properly brunt, it results in the formation of CO, which must find a vent to get mixed with the outer atmosphere. Therefore, it is necessary to have proper ventilation at all such places, and if it is not possible to have windows and doors, you must support the room with exhaust fans. Secondly, you should take care that you maintain the carbon dioxide detector so that it remains in functional position fro a longer time. It will help you detect the presence of CO in the abnormal proportion. This will be the best way to save the people from the irreparable loss caused due to over exposure of CO.
