Experts: you May be at high risk of carbon monoxide poisoning during the storm

those who use a gas or wood stove during a storm may have a higher chance of carbon monoxide poisoning. How often it occurs is not known, experts say to NU.nl

carbon monoxide is released during combustion processes, including gas stoves, boilers or open fires. Usually, waste products are vented outside through a pipe or chimney, but for some types of gas and wood stoves, it can be difficult to wind the fabric back into the house to blow it, for example, during severe storms, such as Ciara and Dennis.

especially with gas and wood stoves, which are “open systems”, the problem may recur. These heaters create combustion, using oxygen in the area where they are specified.

carbon monoxide concentrations for these heaters, and the exit is blown by the wind, as in a house, to blow, experts from the fire service and the Dutch burn foundation confirmed on NU.nl. In high concentrations, the “killer”, poisoning is the cause or, in the worst case, death.

It can be performed in the most difficult conditions

the design of gas and wood stoves takes into account the need for proper disposal,” says She of the Netherlands Burns Foundation’s budget. “However, in extreme circumstances, such as Ciara’s case, carbon monoxide gas back into the socket”.

Jet Early is a carbon monoxide expert from the fire department. According to her, the wind may indeed have caused drainage problems, but it is not clear how often this happens.

This is because there is a lack of awareness in the Netherlands of the nature and extent of the carbon monoxide problem.

Carbon monoxide problems are likely to be three times greater than

Every year, around ten to fifteen people are injured due to carbon monoxide poisoning and two hundred others are injured, VeiligheidNL reports. These figures were estimated from a sample of fourteen emergency services in the Netherlands.

In reality, carbon monoxide-related problems in the Netherlands are likely to be three to four times greater, the Safety Research Council (OVV) estimated at the end of 2015.

Firefighters and hospitals record this due to accidents, often in different ways. They should also be able to so that workers as well as victims of carbon monoxide poisoning often have no symptoms.

Early said firefighters are working to better record carbon monoxide poisoning. At that time, in order to keep different centers that are in other ways, so they are not reliable data delivery.

“the first thing to do is check and inform” Lack of clarity around carbon monoxide: one reason is that the risks, like wind, are not widely known, including: simply not enough is known about it.

as well as firefighters, as the Dutch Burn Foundation is therefore always advised to be alert to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. This year, the fire brigade, carbon monoxide awareness campaign.

“barring a storm, we advise you to always check first and turn on the alarm,” says Early. Therefore, it is advisable to always have a window or underground grid to be open and to have the correct alarm in the right place to install it.

Regular maintenance of verbrandingstoestel is also crucial. This does not only apply to outdated, gas and wood stoves, with an open system. Almost half of koolmonoxidevergiftigingen is a place with modern central heating boilers as a result of the MARKED survey at the end of 2015.
