A family with children was poisoned by carbon monoxide in Kolomyia

On January 3, another tragedy occurred in the city of Kolomyia in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, when a whole family, including two children, suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning. Four victims, including children born in 2010 and 2019, were hospitalized in medical facilities of the Kolomyia district.

According to preliminary information from the Department of State Emergency Services in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the cause of the incident was a malfunction of the gas boiler. It is known that carbon monoxide is one of the most common causes of poisoning in households where gas boilers, stoves or fireplaces are used.

Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, so it can accumulate indoors without any obvious signs. This makes him especially insidious and dangerous. Getting even a small amount of carbon monoxide into the body can lead to serious poisoning or even death.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, nausea, rapid breathing, weakness, dizziness, fatigue, and even loss of consciousness. In case of suspicion of poisoning, it is necessary to ensure access of the victim to fresh air and immediately call an ambulance.

Rescuers emphasize the importance of using special carbon monoxide detectors. These devices instantly react to the increased level of carbon monoxide in the room and emit a sound signal, which allows you to take the necessary measures in a timely manner. The cost of such detectors starts at UAH 200, and they can become an important investment for family safety.

Remember: carbon monoxide is an invisible but deadly threat and should not be trifled with.
