The rescuers reminded that carbon monoxide is often called a "silent killer". After all, it is completely imperceptible to humans, but even in small concentrations it can lead to poisoning and death.
To identify this gas and establish that a leak has occurred, special devices such as a carbon monoxide detector are needed. Detecting a leak in time can save lives.
The SES also briefly reminded about appliances that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
