The Silent Killer: Carbon Monoxide
Because it cannot be easily noticed, carbon monoxide is particularly harmful. The signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are sometimes confused with more serious conditions like depression, lethargy, headaches, nausea, and more. These days, carbon monoxide detectors are widely accessible, and every house needs at least two of them: one near the furnace and one close to the bedroom. Detectors are NOT a replacement for routine chimney maintenance, although they may come in handy if issues arise. Poor ventilation is the primary cause of carbon monoxide issues, and blocked chimneys are one of the biggest single sources of the gas in homes.
