NEED FOR PROPER VENTILATION IN
HEATED BATHROOMS EMPHASISED *****
PEOPLE WHO USE WATER HEATERS IN BATHROOMS WHICH HAVE LITTLE OR NO VENTILATION ARE DICING WITH DEATH, A FIRE SERVICES DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN WARNED TODAY.
+EVERY-WINTER, INJURIES AND DEATHS OCCUR BECAUSE PEOPLE USE BATHROOMS WHICH DO NOT HAVE PROPER VENTILATION, HE SAID, EMPHAS IS ING THE NEED FOR PROPER VENTILATION SYSTEMS IN GAS HEATED BATHROOMS.
THE SPOKESMAN EXPLAINED THAT ONE DANGER OF USING AN INADEQUATELY VENTILATED BATHROOM WAS THAT THE HEATER COULD BURN UP THE OXYGEN AND CAUSE THE BATHER TO BECOME UNCONSCIOUS, UNLESS HE OR SHE IS DISCOVERED QUICKLY, IT MIGHT BE FATAL, HE ADDED.
ANOTHER DANGER WAS THAT GAS LEAKAGE COULD OCCUR FROM A FAULTY
CYLINDER.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT COLD WATER SUPPLY IN MANY BATHROOMS AND SHOWER CUBICLES HAD BEEN CONVERTED TO HOT WATER SUPPLY BY THE INSTALLATION OF A HEATER. HOWEVER, HE CONTINUED, THE NEED FOR VENTILATION WAS OFTEN OVERLOOKED.
+VENTILATION IN BATHROOMS CAN BE MAINTAINED BY HAVING A VENTILATION SLOT OR USING A DOOR WITH LOUVRES, + HE SAID.
IT IS VITAL NOT TO TAKE A BATH IN A ROOM THAT IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY VENTILATED.+
