Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal. It's important to be aware of the risks and take preventive measures.

Carbon monoxide is the result of incomplete combustion of a fossil fuel, which produces an odourless, colourless, incolore, tasteless, non-irritating and toxic gas. Even in small amounts, it can be fatal. In new residential buildings, carbon monoxide detectors are required if the dwelling has a gas-burning appliance with doors that are not completely sealed.
