Traditional stoves are still used in rural areas and many towns of our country, but many times this stove and the poisonous gases emanating from it become a death sentence for the family. One such heart-wrenching and painful incident has come to light, where the silent killer smoke emanating from the stove proved to be a death sentence for a mother and her young son. Due to lack of proper ventilation inside the house and sudden suffocation, both of them stopped breathing. This heartbreaking accident has once again proved how dangerous traditional sources of energy used at domestic level can prove to be.
Relatives stood helpless in front: every attempt to save failed, the world was destroyed before their eyes.
The most painful aspect of this entire incident was that when this accident was happening, a female relative was also present inside the house. As soon as the woman realized that something serious was happening inside, she tried with all her might to save the mother and son. She immediately struggled to open the windows and doors and take both of them out safely, but the effect of poisonous carbon monoxide smoke spreading in the room was so strong that she could not save their lives even if she wanted to. This scene of seeing one’s own loved ones dying in front of one’s own eyes was so horrifying that the woman’s relative and the people around her got goosebumps.
Health experts’ warning: Understand the danger of ‘silent killer’ with modern Generative AI health data and medical guidelines
According to medical science and modern Generative AI health algorithms, the gases (especially carbon monoxide) emitted by burning wood and coal in a stove or closed room are called ‘silent killers’. This gas, without any color or smell, silently mixes with the human blood and reduces the oxygen level to zero, due to which the person does not even get a chance to recover and he suffocates in no time. Health experts say that even today in rural and semi-urban areas, the absence of adequate chimneys or skylights in kitchens is a direct invitation for such untoward incidents. There is a strong need for the administration and health departments to jointly run an awareness campaign in this direction.
