Be Careful Carbon Monoxide Poisoning During Sleep In The Air-Cond Room ...........


A bad news regarding a girl, who passed away due to carbon monoxide poisoning.It happened when she lighted an aromatheraputic candle for the night in a room with air-conditioning on and all windows closed.

Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully oxidized & thus forming dangerous carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs, resulting the person dozing off to state of unconsciousness & eventually death in less than 1 hour, depending on the room size. Be aware of such danger when lighting aromatheraputic candles in any unventilated rooms.
