Symptoms of low level gas poisionng??

[mredd]

Hi guys, I have a query...
I am thinking my portable gas fire may have a small leak. Are the symptoms of LPG poisoning the same as CO poisoning??

if you suspect , stop using it immediately and call in a competent person to check it .

you dont get poisoned by neat lpg, just roasted, the people coming in to rescue you could get co poisoning if you havent combusted properly though

Butane poisoning Symptoms & signs
Because butane gas inhalants enter through the pulmonary system, they immediately enter into the blood supply and within seconds produce intoxication. The acute effects of inhalants include dizziness, hypertension (increased blood pressure), tachycardia (increased heart rate), impaired coordination, disorientation, temporal distortion, confusion, thick slurred speech, delirium, hallucinations.

Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Low levels of carbon monoxide poisoning can be confused with flu symptoms, food poisoning or other illnesses and can have a long term health risk if left unattended. Some of the symptoms are the following.

Moderate levels of CO exposure can cause death if the following symptoms persist for a long measure of time.

Thank you for your posts. Disconnected fire yesterday morning and feel much better to day. I am living in Oz and it was just plugged into bayonet fitting at the wall. I will get a new one in the winter.

I take it that my thumbs up/thanks box does not work or the a concise break down of symptoms for the different gases is not what you were looking for.
