Any gas appliance, kitchen, water heater, stove consumes oxygen for combustion.

When the amount of OX? GENO IS CORRECT (+ OX NATURAL GAS? GENO) PRODUCEANH COMBUSTION? DRID CARBON + STEAM

When the amount of OX? GENO IS POOR (GAS NATURAL + OX LITTLE? GENO) combustion produces carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide gas is highly toxic to humans and animals

. The carbon monoxide poisoning is very subtle and can not realize it because the carbon monoxide

A settlement or change of artifacts made with a registered gas. Before changing or heaters water heaters to make sure they have adequate ventilation according to standards (slopes, angles)
