The main Department of EMERCOM of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan warns!
Carbon monoxide (CO) - a gas that has neither color nor smell, is formed as a result of incomplete combustion of natural gas or other alternative fuels. Usually carbon monoxide is formed by using gas heaters and furnaces in poorly ventilated areas (baths, garages, underground Parking, tents, etc.). At the same time, initially the gas has a sedative effect and further leads to deep hypoxia and anoxia (suffocation). This is due to the fact that when ingested into the blood carbon monoxide forms a very stable compound with blood hemoglobin – carboxyhemoglobin. Thus, it excludes hemoglobin from the function of oxygen delivery to tissues and cells of its main supplier.
As a result of this reaction, the body lacks oxygen (hypoxia), which is the cause of drowsiness. At the confluence of a deep sleep develops anoxia (lack of oxygen), in other words, suffocation, as a result of which a person dies.
