Among the injured are two boys born in 2015 and 2018, a girl born in 2008, and a mother born in 1988.
How to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning:
- when using gas appliances, keep the hatch open or install a window for ventilation;
- do not use heating devices if there is no draft in the chimney;
- during the installation of a gas column, a boiler, provide a separate chimney for the removal of combustion products;
- if you use solid fuel, do not close the hood until the fuel is completely burned;
- do not use gas appliances in strong gusts of wind, as backdraft may occur. Watch the color of the flame on the burners: it should be blue or purple. A yellow flame is a sign of incomplete gas combustion, so it is necessary to adjust the air supply to the burner;
- do not use gas appliances for purposes other than intended! For example, do not use a gas stove for heating;
- regularly check the operation of the stove and gas equipment;
- use carbon monoxide detectors, because it can save lives.
