As temperatures drop in Connecticut, the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning tends to rise, according to the Connecticut Department of Public Health. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless, colorless gas. It has no other warning properties. The only way to detect the gas is with a carbon monoxide alarm. Every resident using oil, liquid propane, natural gas or wood and pellet stoves should take some time to ensure their heating system has been cleaned and inspected in the last year. Carbon monoxide gas can form and build up in a home if the burning of fuel is incomplete. “If you think you may have carbon monoxide poisoning, get people and pets out of the house immediately,” the department encourages.
