Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If
you have these signs, the heater may not be
working properly. Get fresh air at once!
Have heater serviced. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These include pregnant women, people with
heart or lung disease or anemia, those under
the influence of alcohol, and those at high
altitudes.
Natural Gas:
Natural gas is odorless. An
odor-making agent is added to natural gas.
The odor helps you detect a natural gas leak.
However, the odor added to natural gas can
fade. Natural gas may be present even though
no odor exists.
