The Dhaka Times Desk On the day of Holi, a couple died of suffocation after gas came out of a shower in Ghaziabad, India. What precautions should be taken while using the geyser to avoid such danger?
A couple died together in the bathroom on Holi. After the post-mortem, it is known that the couple died due to suffocation due to gas leaking from the geyser. According to police sources, there was no window or ventilator in the bathroom. Due to which they die due to suffocation due to lack of oxygen. Many people were frightened by this incident of Bhatar Ghaziabad. The same incident happened again in Mumbai. Turned on the geyser to heat the water, and that's when the accident happened.
Caution must be exercised when using this device to avoid hazards. Because gas geysers use 'LPG' to heat water. Due to which this device emits carbon monoxide. Which is a very dangerous thing. If the carbon monoxide device in the geyser were to leak for some reason, a person could lose consciousness within a few moments without being able to breathe. If left in that environment for too long, death can occur. Carbon monoxide entering the lungs means it can cause death. So it is important to keep an eye on two things to avoid such sudden danger. The bathroom should have a window for ventilation. Care should also be taken in the use of geysers. For example-
# When installing a new geyser, check whether the connection is correct or not, or whether the geyser pipe is properly connected. It is better if the pipes are made of iron.
# generally operate the generators automatically. That is, when the water gets heated after getting the electricity connection, it also shuts off by itself. Check whether your home geyser is working automatically or not.
In a # geyser, the water heats up within a certain period of time. It should be noted whether it is happening or not. If not, you will understand that there is a disturbance in the geyser.
# Turn off the geyser as soon as the water is heated. As this will save electricity, the geyser will also last longer and there will be no risk.
Once the # is hot, take out all the water from the geyser. If the water is stored, there will be a danger that iron will accumulate in the geyser and it will deteriorate quickly. If there is a faulty geyser, it should be fixed promptly. Otherwise its use can cause danger at any time - so be careful. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
