What is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?  

The silent killer

Carbon Monoxide, is known as the ‘silent killer’.

Tragically, around 30 people in the UK die each year from its poisoning fumes and hundreds more are seriously injured, with the elderly and young particularly at risk.

The gas has no taste, colour or smell and can kill without warning in a matter of hours.

Symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, nausea and exhaustion can often be mistaken for flu, even by medical professionals.     

According to CORGI

  • Incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning increased by 48% in the first four months of this year compared with the same period in 2006
  • CORGI blames widespread consumer ignorance, lazy landlords and a growing number of illegal gas workers
  • One in ten gas appliances in the worst affected areas has never been serviced and one in five are only safety checked every five years
