Carbon monoxide poisoning in cars is caused by carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. If there is no car co alarm installed in the car, carbon monoxide gas is easily ignored by people, or the car has been sealed for too long, or the engine idle speed is high when the vehicle is started, and gasoline does not Fully burnt, resulting in a large amount of carbon monoxide poisoning. In the event of an accident, it’s too late to install a car co alarm. The following summarizes three causes of carbon monoxide poisoning in automobiles.
1. When the car engine is running at high speed, the engine idle speed is high, and the engine gasoline is not fully burned, producing a large amount of carbon monoxide. At this time, the carbon monoxide content in the car is too high, and the passengers in the car will be poisoned by carbon monoxide if they stay in a sealed environment.
2. In cold weather, when you drive, you always close the windows. Because there are many people in the car, the exhaust gas will not circulate, and the air inside the car will not circulate. In addition, if the car is empty for a long time, the oxygen content in the car will become very low, so the passengers in the car will be poisoned, usually manifested as nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. If severe, it can be life-threatening.
3. In summer, many drivers leave the air switch open after stopping and shutting down the engine. At this time, due to the idling of the engine, a large amount of carbon monoxide will be produced. The air in the car can only be convected through the air switch, and the engine will produce a large amount of carbon monoxide into the car. The longer the time, the higher the carbon monoxide content in the car, which is easy to cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
So we should not be careless, it is very necessary to install a car co alarm in the car.
