In Zigong, Sichuan, the couple died because of charcoal heating at home. What are the "silent killers" in autumn and winter?

Another tragedy that makes people feel very worried! On the internet and in life ... people discuss the same topic every year to remind these "winter killers" of their harm and prevention, and countless similar tragedies are exposed every year ... but when the new winter comes, there will always be the same new tragedy. ...

202 1, 654381On the evening of October 8, the same tragedy was staged again in a farm in Berlin Village, Rong County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province.

Because of the cold weather, farm owner Zhang and his wife burn charcoal outdoors to keep warm during the day. In the evening, the couple moved the charcoal into the house again. In a relatively closed space, due to the lack of ventilation, the concentration of "carbon monoxide" produced by burning charcoal in the house is getting higher and higher, which eventually leads to the couple leaving their lives forever in their "sleep".

It was not until the next morning that it was discovered that the couple had been poisoned. Unfortunately, it is too late. When they found out, they were completely out of breath.

Another painful lesson once again warns everyone that we must pay attention to the harm of the "winter killer". Maybe it's just a casual mistake in life, which may have laid the groundwork for tragedy. ...

Next, the author lists some common "winter killer" hidden dangers in life! There are many kinds of killers in winter, such as "fog" on high speed, such as electric blanket, such as heater, such as socket overload and fire, and so on. Among them, the most harmful, frequent and fatal is the "carbon monoxide" poisoning mentioned earlier.

Therefore, here, the author only lists several safety hazards that are easily overlooked for "carbon monoxide": carbon monoxide is the product of insufficient fuel combustion!

First, the bathroom bath poisoning

Toilet poisoning is mainly because water heaters also produce carbon monoxide; Moreover, winter is a high incidence period, because the cold weather in winter easily leads to insufficient fuel combustion of water heaters, and most people close the doors and windows and do not turn on the exhaust fan when taking a shower. Causing the concentration of carbon monoxide in the confined space to rise continuously. ...

However, most of the current water heaters are well-designed, adopting "forced discharge" and not installed in the bathroom, which greatly reduces the safety hazard of bathing in the bathroom.

However, some irregular operations and some old water heaters can also lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Give two examples:

1, 202065438+In February, a 23-year-old woman in Liunan District had an accident while taking a bath in a rented house with bottled liquefied gas. Due to the cold weather, the woman closed the doors and windows without opening the exhaust fan, causing "carbon monoxide" poisoning and dying naked in the bathroom.

The next morning, when the roommate found her, she was dying and the ambulance had not arrived.

2. Also in February 2020, a boy of 12 years old in Hangzhou locked the doors and windows to keep warm when taking a shower. In the middle of washing, I found myself unwell and ran to bed to rest. The boy was already in a trance when his grandmother came home. Fortunately, I was sent to medical insurance in time and saved my life, but I don't rule out other sequelae.

Second, automobile air conditioning poisoning.

It has been said many times that car air conditioning poisoning is well known to most drivers and friends, but some accidents still occur every year. For example, sleeping in the car with the air conditioner on, leaving the children in the car and so on. ...

In July 2020, a woman in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province parked her car on the side of the road to enjoy the cool, and fell asleep because of turning on the air conditioner, which eventually led to the death of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Coincidentally, on July 6, 2065438/KLOC-0, a middle-aged man in Liuzhou City died of carbon monoxide poisoning while sleeping in the underground garage.

Why does automobile air conditioning cause carbon monoxide poisoning? The reason is that when the car is idling, the gasoline is not fully burned, which will produce a lot of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide diffuses around the car and is inhaled by the air conditioner, which leads to the increase of carbon monoxide concentration in the car.

Third, the generator is poisoned.

In winter, due to snowstorms, freezing and other reasons, power transmission in some places is easily interrupted, and some families have their own gasoline or diesel generators. Some people like to move the generator into the room for convenience or fear of getting wet in rainy days. If the room is sealed, it may also cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

On May 20 19, a generator in Hongtai Community of Yan 'an caused a carbon monoxide poisoning incident. Due to the illegal use of generators by residents in residential buildings during power failure, more than ten residents were poisoned, including 1 child.

Fourth, cooking in the kitchen.

It's cold in winter, and most people like to close the doors and windows when cooking. In fact, there are security risks. Once the gas stove is not fully burned, it is likely to lead to high carbon monoxide concentration. Therefore, it is recommended to turn on the exhaust fan or range hood when cooking.

Fifth, eat hot pot and barbecue.

In winter, many people have the habit of eating hot pot barbecue indoors, and a group of people are surrounded in a closed space, which has a good warm effect. However, don't neglect the ventilation of the room. ...

In addition, there are many similar hidden dangers, so I won't list them here. I hope everyone can pay attention to it. When keeping warm in winter, remember to eliminate potential safety hazards. ...
