Carbon monoxide can be given off by appliances that burn fossil fuels such as gas, coal, wood or oil.
It is odourless, colourless and tasteless, killing on average 50 people across the UK each year.
Ensure that all heating systems are checked before use and consider installing carbon monoxide detectors as a precaution.
