Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, poisonous gas which may be produced by faulty, poorly maintained or misused gas appliances.
You may not know you have been exposed to potentially fatal levels of carbon monoxide until the symptoms of poisoning become severe.
Exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide may result in a person experiencing headaches, weakness, fatigue and nausea but at higher levels, symptoms could include severe headache, dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat, vomiting, seizures and collapse. In extreme cases this can lead to coma and death.
You should seek medical attention immediately.
Know the warning signs...
Energy Safe Victoria have produced a video highlighting the dangers of Carbon Monoxide and the need to service gas appliances every two years.
