(PRWEB UK) 23 April 2013

Audible carbon monoxide alarms can be bought for around 15 from supermarkets and DIY stores and are easy to fit.

Celebrated for their Burgh Heath plumbers, Plumber 24 Hours operates throughout the country, also specialising in gas safety. Naturally the team were pleased to hear that the fire fighters are working to promote awareness of the deadly substances. A representative from the firm shares their thoughts on the matter.

Carbon monoxide is a highly poisonous substance that is the result of the incomplete burning of gas and liquid petroleum gas and can occur when a gas appliance has been incorrectly fitted, badly repaired or maintained.

When breathed in it enters the blood stream, preventing the red blood cells from carrying oxygen which is why it is so important to only ever let a fully qualified engineer carry out work on your appliances. These should be checked annually as even low levels over a long period of time can lead to paralysis and brain damage. It is also worth familiarising yourself with the symptoms of carbon monoxide in order to prevent a situation from worsening.
