Formation and avoidance of toxic combustion products - carbon monoxide

Abstract

Security has changed significantly in recent decades. Advances in technology, in addition to accelerating everyday life, also generate additional dangers. A malfunctioning gas stove, an improperly maintained boiler, an outdated stove, or even a motor vehicle running in an enclosed garage comes with the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning. According to statistics the number of carbon monoxide poisonings is high, which can be attributed to the lack of public awareness
about the risks in our environment. The authors evaluate this topic and make recommendations regarding public awareness.
