Winter is a time of high incidence of carbon monoxide poisoning accidents. So in summer, people tend to ignore the threat posed by carbon monoxide. Unknown to the public, in the hot summer, people habitually close the doors and windows, and then turn on the air conditioning to the maximum, it is also very easy to trigger carbon monoxide poisoning.
These behaviours are very dangerous in the hot summer:
① Parking closed windows blowing air conditioning
Continuous operation of the car engine will continue to produce a steady stream of carbon monoxide, if you fail to ventilate in a timely manner, the discharge of carbon monoxide will be through the air conditioning and compartment gaps into the car, when the concentration of carbon monoxide in the car is getting bigger and bigger, the car may be carbon monoxide poisoning.
② Close the windows and doors to use gas cooking
Summer heat, many people open air-conditioning cooking, in order to figure out the comfort and coolness of the doors and windows closed, resulting in air circulation. If you do not find in time, it is very likely to cause gas explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning and other accidents.
③Eating charcoal hot pot or barbecue in an air-conditioned room
In an air-conditioned room or a closed environment to eat with an open flame hot pot, barbecue, etc., the oxygen content will continue to decline with the combustion, resulting in insufficient combustion and carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless is not easy to find, once the poisoning is often too late to save themselves, the danger is great.
How to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning?
◆ Regularly ask professionals to check and maintain gas pipes, cookers and other appliances to prevent gas leakage;
◆ Don’t change or modify gas pipes, stoves and other facilities without permission;
◆ Have someone take care of cooking and boiling water to avoid fire extinguishing and gas leakage caused by boiling soup and water;
◆ Don’t eat charcoal fire pots or light charcoal fire pans in confined spaces;
◆ Do not sleep in a closed car, especially when the engine is continuously burning;
◆ When driving (travelling) in an air-conditioned car, open the window to breathe fresh air if you feel dizzy, heavy, or have no strength in your limbs;
◆ Install a carbon monoxide alarm and check the alarm regularly to see if it is in good condition. When the alarm sounds, open the window immediately for ventilation and evacuate to a safe place.
Chicheng Electric Carbon Monoxide Alarms Guarding Family Safety
Carbon monoxide alarm is a commonly used safety equipment, often referred to as the 24-hour work of the “safety housekeeper”. Its core component is a gas sensor, commonly known as the “electronic nose”, can effectively sense the concentration of carbon monoxide leakage, and timely sound and light alarm signals to remind people to take first aid measures.
