Poorly maintained, badly installed or faulty gas appliances can leak poisonous carbon monoxide. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it, but it can kill quickly with no warning.
Remember the six main signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Breathlessness
- Collapse
- Loss of consciousness
If these symptoms become less noticeable or disappear when away from home, this can be a sign that carbon monoxide is present.
