Over 1m adults at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning

About 1.1m adults are at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, with more than 400,000 people unknowingly vulnerable to the silent killer.

An awareness week, running until Saturday, is warning consumers about the risks of the potentially deadly substance.

Six people die every year as a result of the colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas which can kill in as little as three minutes.
