Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels. It can be deadly when inhaled in high concentrations, as it interferes with the body's ability to transport oxygen. Symptoms of CO poisoning include headache, dizziness, nausea, and confusion.

Prevent gas leaks by:

Having gas appliances installed and maintained by qualified professionals.

Regularly inspecting gas lines for signs of wear or damage.

Using gas appliances as instructed in the manufacturer's manual.

Installing carbon monoxide detectors near gas appliances and sleeping areas.

If you suspect a gas leak, follow these steps:

Do not use any open flames, including matches or lighters.

Do not operate electrical switches, appliances, or phones.

Evacuate the area immediately.

From a safe distance, call your gas provider's emergency number or local emergency services.

Do not re-enter the area until it has been deemed safe by professionals.

Common signs of a gas leak include a strong odor of gas (often resembling rotten eggs), hissing sounds near gas appliances or lines, visible bubbles in water, dead plants in an otherwise healthy garden, and physical symptoms like dizziness, nausea, or headaches.
