informed of current events, the health department of the city of Dresden on the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning from charcoal grilling indoors.
carbon monoxide produced by incomplete combustion of carbonaceous material. Lack of air circulation in the interior increases the concentration of toxic gas. Open windows or doors, no security. There are not a barbecue with charcoal grills indoors, the combustion gases derived directly from chimney systems, there is a risk of severe poisoning, because the gas silently in space disseminated. Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless and non-irritating. Therefore, it does not trigger warning effect in humans. The gas is lighter than air and can be easily explained by displacement of oxygen accumulate in the environment. Quickly and unnoticed it is absorbed through the lungs.
Carbon monoxide is a blood poison, which displaces oxygen from binding to the red blood pigment hemoglobin. Children are much more sensitive than adults to carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms and therefore exhibit faster. In mild poisoning, the patients suffer from headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, blurred vision, vomiting, shortness of breath, muscle weakness and increased heart rate. For moderate to severe poisoning show the victims usually a cherry-healthy skin color, which masks the true state of health. Especially when alcohol was consumed, the situation is assessed frequently wrong. But here there is danger, and the parties must as soon as possible from the ambulance by oxygen and respiratory treatment.
In 2008, the BfR reported as part of the medical reports of poisonings light and medium cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. The information displayed in recent weeks, deaths show that improper use charcoal grills inside a further, possibly undetected, pose potential danger. Even the use of residual heat the dying charcoal grills indoors can cause life-threatening poisoning.
last few years, coal-fired barbecue in the trading table that are marketed for use in the interior and give the impression that open fires in the interior without direct proof it is safe. To play down the dangers of advertising can also help to show the barbecues in the living room. BfR research suggest that have been suggested in some cases affected by such spots to move their own barbecues in the rain at home and use the residual heat of the grill to heat.
BfR stresses out that charcoal grills because of the significant risk of poisoning by carbon monoxide can not be used in the interior. This is true even if doors and windows are opened, because the ventilation is inadequate.
