๐ŸฅตGas heaters and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning๐Ÿฅต

South Africa can get freezing, so we often rely on gas heaters to keep us toasty.

๐ŸฅตWhat is carbon monoxide?๐Ÿฅต

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. So you wonโ€™t get a warning that there are excess levels thereof. It is usually released with the burning of fuels and gas.

๐ŸฅตIs it dangerous?๐Ÿฅต

Inhaling it in excess can cause serious illness, and it can kill you if you're exposed to high levels.

The Carbon Monoxide binds to the haemoglobin part in your blood, rather than oxygen. This forms carboxyhemoglobin that impairs oxygen transport and use in the body.

๐ŸฅตHow are you exposed?๐Ÿฅต

Gas heaters used indoors that arenโ€™t properly maintained, using it in a non-ventilated area, as well as using outdoor gas heaters inside, all can cause Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

Gas geysers installed indoors.

Running a car in a closed garage can also expose you to it, as well as indoor generators.

Smoking ho**ah or hubbly bubbly pipes can also expose you to carbon monoxide.

๐ŸฅตWhat are the symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning?๐Ÿฅต

The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are often subtle, particularly during low-level exposure. Some people get a headache, dizziness, nausea, or confusion, with impaired concentration and changes in emotion.

The symptoms can gradually get worse with prolonged exposure causing loss of consciousness or seizures.

Babies and children can have fussiness and feeding difficulties as symptoms. They are usually affected faster.

๐ŸฅตWhat should you do if you think you have had exposure?๐Ÿฅต

If you think you might have been exposed to high levels, please see your doctor for a carboxyhaemoglobin blood test.

๐ŸฅตHow is it treated?๐Ÿฅต

The mainstay of therapy is usually oxygen.

๐ŸฅตHow can it be prevented?๐Ÿฅต

โ™จ๏ธPlease ensure your gas appliances are in working order and serviced regularly. Make sure there are no leaks by applying soapy water to the pipes and attachments and seeing if it bubbles.

โ™จ๏ธMake sure there is good ventilation when using a gas heater. Donโ€™t sleep with a gas heater in the room.

โ™จ๏ธUse the correct size gas bottle indicated in the heater manual.

โ™จ๏ธClose your gas cylinder at the back of the heater after use, and donโ€™t just switch the heater off at the top/front.

โ™จ๏ธDo not light any fires inside the home without ventilation.

โ™จ๏ธDo not keep your car running in your closed garage.
