Why Your Home Needs a Carbon Monoxide Alarm
What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas which is highly toxic. The gas is formed through the incomplete combustion of natural gas or petroleum gas. It isn’t just a problem for large fossil fuel production plants though as the same combustion can take place in households via appliances such as gas fires, water heaters and boilers. Carbon monoxide becomes dangerous to humans when fuels are not burned properly due to faulty or damaged heating systems or gas fires and appliances. The gas can accumulate in poorly ventilated areas such as blocked flues and chimneys where the fumes can’t escape properly and can then be breathed in by members of the household.
How can it affect you?
Carbon monoxide poisoning happens when people breathe in CO fumes. Carbon monoxide poisoning does not necessarily happen quickly either. Early symptoms of CO poisoning include headaches, dizziness, sore throats and stomach pain and is commonly mistaken for flu. The main difference between CO poisoning and flu is that the former doesn’t cause a high temperature. Sometimes symptoms start to show in a few days and in other cases it can be months of mild but long term exposure. Severe symptoms of the poisoning include difficulty breathing, seizures and even loss of consciousness.
How can you reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning?
Thankfully there are many ways you can reduce the risk of CO poisoning in your home. Firstly, ask a professional to come to your home and check out possible causes of CO build up. Areas to check include whether the flue is blocked by plants or other outside debris which could be preventing the system from working. Also check that air bricks and trickle vents are clear and ask an expert to check the state of your gas appliances such as fires, grills and ovens. The most effective way you can find out the risk of CO poisoning in your home is by installing a carbon monoxide alarm.
Where to put the CO alarm?
These alarms are different to smoke detectors as they are specifically designed to detect the invisible CO gas. If you’re installing just the one CO alarm then it’s wise to place it in a central area of the home where it will be heard even when people are asleep. Although it may seem like an obvious place, it’s not advisable to place the alarm near potentially effected appliances as even appliances in good working condition can sometimes emit small amounts of CO when switched on. Humid areas and warm areas can also affect how well alarms and detectors work.
There is a very good reason why carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer so make sure you’re not the next victim and take the time to seek professional advice about potential carbon dioxide risks in your home. The first step you can take is installing a CO alarm as they are an affordable necessity to protect the people in your home.
