Did you know?

In England and Wales, approximately 40 deaths are reported each year due to carbon monoxide poisoning. There are also approximately 440 hospital admissions per year in England due to carbon monoxide poisoning.  Poisoning is more prevalent in the winter months, likely related to the increased indoor use of heating and other devices which are common sources of carbon monoxide.
