Home is where the heart is, and nobody wants an unhealthy
heart. Your home could contain airborne dangers that you can’t notice with any
of your senses. This article will cover a few dangers that are hard to notice
if you are not looking.
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas that kills around 4
thousand people in their homes each year. It is colorless and odorless. It is
produced when fuels in furnaces, fireplaces, and gas stoves aren’t properly
able to filter outside. It can quickly fill a home, and the lungs of everyone
in it. A carbon monoxide tester is the only way to find this gas, so it is
highly recommended that you have one installed in your home if you do not
already.
Gas Leaks
Gas leaking from stoves, ovens, and heaters can lead to
dangerous explosions and the inability to breathe. Gas does have an odor, so
get out of your home if you smell a gas-like smell. If you have time, it is
advisable to open windows and shut off gas lines before getting help.
In our next post, we will be talking about the most
uncommonly known silent killer, radon gas.
