Answer: • Gas flames that burn orange or yellow instead of blue. • Sooty stains on or just above appliances. • Solid fuel appliances that burn slowly or extinguish. Carbon monoxide bonds with the haemoglobin in your blood and subsequently replaces the oxygen needed to sustain your body’s functions. It can cause fatalities where a high dose of Carbon Monoxide is present, or can build up over a period of time causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, confusion, disorientation, fatigue, and chest pain. Symptoms can often be confused with influenza and sometimes depression. - Related Link
