A few days ago, it was reported that a factory in Jiangyin used a small gasoline after work due to a power outage in the factory generator set to light and keep heating . As a result, the poisoning incident occurred. After on-site inspection by ambulance staff at the 120 emergency center, it was confirmed that the two women were dead.
Small generator sets usually generate electricity by burning fuel to generate power. Various fuels are high in carbon content. When the generator is running, it will produce a large amount of carbon monoxide exhaust gas, and it will also consume a lot of oxygen in the environment. Carbon monoxide poisoning caused by generator operation is particularly common in developed countries.
A similar incident occurred abroad
. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina landed in Florida, USA. Due to power interruption, people used small generators to generate electricity. According to incomplete statistics, 28 people were poisoned with carbon monoxide within two days. In Alabama and Texas, when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita landed, 78 people were poisoned by carbon monoxide, and 10 of them died due to the same reasons. Surveys show that these generators are installed outdoors but are closer to the living room windows or vents.
Although there are not many poisoning and deaths caused by improper use of the generator set, it is still worthy of attention from enterprises and family users. Jiangsu Haixing Power Technology hereby reminds every user to use safely.
