During the winter, when doors and windows tend to be closed, the potential for CO buildup increases. Fuel-based heaters are used frequently with little to no ventilation, causing health hazards. Please be careful about the same.

Thank you for the post. I can share my experience. I had been abroad where the temperature used to be -5°C. We used to heat the room with a kerosene stove. We were given instructions to turn the stove off when the room was warm. If sometimes we continued heating the stove, the comfort level would drop. Later, when I started working on safety, I realized this fact.
Thanks again for the post, Mr. Ramesh.

Thank you, Mr. Ramesh, for creating awareness among our members. Now that winter is upon us, everyone is using room heaters in their homes. Please be careful when using such heaters. Even electric heaters can deplete the oxygen in the air, leaving only carbon monoxide, which can lead to suffocation and, ultimately, death.
Safety Tips for Using Heaters
When using a charcoal-ignited heater in your room, ensure two things are planned properly. First, plan for proper exhaust for the fumes/flames. Second, keep an adequate quantity of water over the heater so that the water vapor can provide oxygen to the room, maintaining the oxygen level within the room.

Thanks, Mr. Sudhir, for sharing the info.
Prevention is the Key to Avoiding Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• DON'T idle the car in a garage
• DON'T use a gas oven to heat your home, even for a short time
• DON'T ever use a charcoal grill indoors—even in a fireplace
• DON'T sleep in any room with an unvented gas or kerosene space heater
• DON'T ignore symptoms
You can't see or smell carbon monoxide, but at high levels, it can kill a person in minutes.
