There are many ways to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: Install carbon monoxide detector, maintaining and servicing appliances like boiler, cooker and heater system, well-ventilated room, open garage before starting your car and use the gas appliance as recommended.

Early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are including irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness, and dizziness.

Prolonged exposure to low concentrations or very short exposure to high concentrations can cause permanent brain damage, life-threatening cardiac complication, and death.
