Myth 1: Only burning coal can cause poisoning
In fact, any carbon-containing fuel can produce a large amount of carbon monoxide when it is lack of oxygen and cannot be fully burned. Whether burning gasoline, kerosene, ordinary charcoal, or "environmentally friendly charcoal"!
Myth 2: No soot and odor will not cause poisoning
Carbon monoxide itself is colorless and odorless, making it difficult for people to detect. If the doors and windows are closed tightly at this time to form a confined space, people inside will be easily poisoned by carbon monoxide. When burning charcoal for warmth at home, it should be extinguished and moved outside before going to bed.
Myth 3: There will be no poisoning if there are gaps in doors and windows.
The specific gravity of air is 1 and the specific gravity of carbon monoxide is 0.967. If the gaps between doors and windows are at a low level, carbon monoxide will not be easily discharged.
Misunderstanding 4: Installing a chimney or wind pipe will not cause poisoning
If there is strong wind, smoke blowing, the chimney is blocked, etc., and the carbon monoxide cannot be discharged or the discharge volume is small, poisoning will also occur. Many families use old air ducts, or the air ducts are too small or installed at an insufficient height. Carbon monoxide is not discharged smoothly, which can also cause poisoning.
Myth 5: Placing a basin of water next to the stove can prevent poisoning
It has been scientifically proven that carbon monoxide is extremely difficult to dissolve in water and cannot prevent poisoning.
Myth 6: Vinegar and sauerkraut soup can save poisoned patients
For carbon monoxide poisoning, especially patients who are in a coma, if vinegar or sauerkraut soup is poured into the mouth, it is easy to choke into the lungs, blocking alveolar gas exchange, leading to aggravation of the condition or even death.
