The incident occurred on Friday, 4 February, in Nowogrodziec. Five people were poisoned by carbon monoxide. The poisoning probably occurred as a result of flue gases backing up from the chimney. All five were taken to hospital. As the journalist of the “Istotne Informacje” website and newspaper learned, all those affected have already been discharged from hospital.
Every year, several dozen people die from carbon monoxide poisoning (commonly referred to as CO poisoning). A common cause of death is the improper use of buildings and heating devices and installations. More information can be found in the article: Firefighters warn about deadly carbon monoxide.
