“Silent Killer” causes some passengers’ death … How do you escape him?
The first carbon monoxide, which is often known as “Silent Killer”, does not taste, smell, and color, however, this hidden gas has been inhaled for a long time for many American tourists.
In March, the son of Preta Gardener, former Aar -New York, died on family leave at Kosta Rica Coal Resort, 14 Er -Miller Gardener. A month ago, 3 American women who died in their hotel room appeared in Blaz. In both cases, the first carbon monoxide poisoning was the cause of death, according to CNN.
Although most homes in the United States have warning equipment to determine the presence of dangerous gas, travelers have to take additional precautions to reduce their exposure to the road.
Where does the first carbon monoxide come from?
According to the American Environmental Protection Agency, the first carbon monoxide is produced when burning natural gas in devices such as boilers, swimming pools, gas stoves, fireplaces and dryers.
“All devices produced by carbon monoxide are designed to remove these toxins from the building,” said Shahn McClong, founder of National Carbon Awareness Corporation.
McCelb said that ventilation systems could deteriorate or move without periodic management, which leads to leakage of carbon monoxide. Then the gas is transferred to adjacent rooms through dry walls, doors and ventilation channels.
The accumulation of carbon monoxide in the air reduces your ability to absorb oxygen, leading to a dangerous or malignant damage to the brain, heart and muscle tissues.
What can travelers do to reduce toxic possibilities?
In the United States, the requirements of the first carbon monoxide detectors are different in houses and hotels according to the state.
Holiday Homes may only suggest that the carbon monoxide detection device is on their lists, although only units listed to fulfill local regulations for rental platforms such as VRBO and AIRBNB.
McKelb is advised to cross places to verify the presence of identifying equipment in each room and inquire about their room position inside the building.
McCallb said: “Passengers may want to avoid the adjacent rooms of pools and their heaters because the chemicals used in swimming pools are usually stored in the heater stored mechanical room and these chemicals can cause mineral erosion, which can lead to gas leakage.”
He said the rooms in the upper floors also provide a safe distance of gas garden devices.
He continued: If you do not fully trust the answers you get, make sure security and bring the alarm (carbon monoxide) with you.
Portable alarms work with a battery or by electric socket, which can monitor small -sized equipment, carbon monoxide levels and alert the user insecure levels.
What about camping?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Committee (CPSC), two camps should not be used within the tent of portable gas stoves, gas -running lanternators, energy generators and chemical heaters.
This is important when camping in high -rise areas; The risk of poisoning with the first carbon monoxide increases.
The tents should be installed from parked vehicles and camp fire.
