News about a Man Who Had Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
While taking my lunch today, I heard a news over the radio. Yes, I am still listening to the radio especially when I am in our kitchen doing something. Whether I am cooking, baking, cleaning the kitchen or eating meals, I always turn-on the radio. I heard a news about co2 detector information. I guess a lot of you know about this gadget. If not, let me tell you about it. A carbon monoxide detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. This is according to my friend, wikipedia.
Another news I heard over the radio was about a man who fall slept inside his car somewhere near a farm house in Bavaria, Germany. I missed to hear if he was drunk or not. According to the newscaster, the man turned-on the heater while sleeping inside the car the whole night last night. It is currently winter in Germany and investigation says that he might had a carbon monoxide poisoning. They did not find any other cause of his death but a carbon monoxide poisoning. This is really a very sad news.
I also heard another news, that all newly build houses in Germany starting 2013 must install a smoke detector inside their house. Owners of old houses as well, must install smoke detectors starting 2017. If I am not mistaken, this is already put into law.
I have some friends who have smoke detectors inside their homes. One friend was alarmed as a fire started to break in their kitchen two years ago. With the help of the smoke detector, not too much managed were done to their home.
This is one advantage of our modern technology. There are already a lot of gadgets and devices that make us safe from all sort of harms and dangers.
