We welcome the Health and Social Care Committee call for a cross-government effort to ensure healthy and safe homes for all. Freedom from #CarbonMonoxide poisoning – as provided in the Decent Homes Standard – is essential for preventative health @BrineMP
Vital awareness being raised by @asthmalungUK Global Action Plan & more of the health risks of wood burners this #CleanAirNight. #CarbonMonoxide poisoning is a lethal health risk from solid fuel combustion and must be minimised.
The National Energy Action Gemserv Limited, a Talan Company #FuelPoverty monitor highlights the staggering number of fuel-poor households. Many rely on unsafe heating practices, risking #CarbonMonoxide exposure. A fuel poverty strategy that promotes healthy homes is key.
The West Midlands Fire Service has encountered a string of cases of lethal levels of #CarbonMonoxide where wood charcoal was burned indoors. Fuel for incense and shisha pipes produces CO – please report any cases and make consumers aware of CO risks

It is disappointing to read that London Fire Brigade have reported that carbon monoxide incidents have increased by 128 per cent year on year. Proof that much still needs to be done to raise awareness of the dangers of CO poisoning to save lives. fitzrovianews.com/2024/04/22/ris…
