Dear readers on the timeline, on no condition should you ever RUN A GENERATOR IN A POORLY VENTILATED PLACE or SPACE.
This is very dangerous as generator sets produce carbon mono oxide which kills very quietly.
It is called Carbon monoxide poisoning.
This is very dangerous as generator sets produce carbon mono oxide which kills very quietly.
It is called Carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gasoline,charcoal or other fuel. Improperly ventilated appliances and engines, particularly in a tightly sealed or enclosed space, may allow carbon monoxide to accumulate to dangerous levels
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide builds up in your bloodstream. When too much carbon monoxide is in the air, your body replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This can lead to serious tissue damage, or even death.
Some Signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include:
Dull headache
Weakness
Dizziness
Nausea or vomiting
Shortness of breath
Confusion
Dull headache
Weakness
Dizziness
Nausea or vomiting
Shortness of breath
Confusion
Carbon monoxide poisoning can be particularly dangerous for people who ARE SLEEPING OR INTOXICATED
. People may have irreversible brain damage or even die before anyone realizes there's a problem.
Prevention is better than cure.
Stay safe.
