A member asked:
What are the main risk factors for carbon monoxide poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor ventilation: Combustion of flammable items requires oxygen, and poor ventilation promotes incomplete burning with presence of excess carbon monoxide. Can occur in cabins with wood burning stoves, cars with faulty exhaust systems, even obstructed home gas furnace systems.
