Tips to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The risk of carbon monoxide poisoning can be greatly reduced by ensuring that all gas-powered devices are operating correctly. Everyday household products such as gas barbecues, dryers, fireplaces, car exhaust systems, heaters, and water heaters are common culprits. It's crucial that these appliances are used in well-ventilated areas. Here are some suggestions to lower the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in your home:
- Use your gas stove for cooking only, not heating.
- Equip each floor of your home with carbon monoxide detectors.
- Invest in smart carbon monoxide detection devices.
- Keep the flue of your fireplace open when it's in use.
- Schedule regular maintenance checks for your gas appliances.
- Learn to differentiate between the sounds of carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
- Do not run generators, vehicles, or other fuel-powered tools in enclosed spaces such as your garage or home.
- Resist the temptation to use flameless chemical heaters indoors.
- Change the batteries of your carbon monoxide detectors semiannually.
- Ensure your gas appliances bear certification marks from the American Gas Association or Underwriters' Laboratories (UL).
