Beware of carbon monoxide poisoning in summer, you must know these points

As is well known, winter is the peak period for carbon monoxide poisoning. Due to the decrease in temperature, poor indoor air flow, and the use of gas for heating or showering with closed doors and windows, carbon monoxide poisoning cannot be ignored in summer.

Please note:

1. Turn on air conditioning at home
When turning on the air conditioner, it is necessary to ventilate and exchange air. When the air conditioner operates in a relatively closed environment, the air quality is actually worse than we imagine. Opening windows for air exchange can ensure fresh indoor air.
If there are elderly people, children, or people with multiple illnesses at home, it is even more important to use air conditioning with caution to avoid diseases caused by cloudy air. At the same time, it is important to use gas stoves and other appliances properly to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning caused by closing windows and turning on the air conditioning during cooking. It is also recommended to install a carbon monoxide alarm at home to seize the opportunity before carbon monoxide invades.

2. Dining out
Especially when eating charcoal hot pot and barbecue in air-conditioned rooms, due to the hot weather, the private rooms are equipped with air conditioning, doors and windows are closed, and ventilation measures are not in place. If carbon is not completely burned and eating for too long, it can also lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Therefore, when dining out in the hot summer, it is important to ventilate in a timely manner.

3. Turn on air conditioning in the car
When sleeping with the air conditioning on or driving for a long time with the car windows tightly closed, it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation at all times. At this time, the air in the cabin is difficult to flow, and the carbon monoxide emitted by the engine running for a long time will gradually accumulate in the car, causing people inside the car to be unknowingly poisoned. Please remember to also install a carbon monoxide alarm in the car, this small thing can immediately sound an alarm to you in case of a carbon monoxide leak.

4. Gas water heater for bathing
In the scorching summer, as the temperature continues to rise, using a gas water heater for bathing can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning if exhaust pipes are not installed or ventilation is turned on. The bathroom is also an important place to install a carbon monoxide alarm, don't underestimate it!
