Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

[Raccoon1010]

I had some symptoms for years of feeling ill like a flu or something. I did a lot of medical testing at the doctors office and nothing, they even blamed it on mental health issues and checked me for depression and such, I had to enforce to them that I was happy otherwise. One doctor blamed the weather changes and such. I had one doctor that actually did testing for a while. Nothing came up.

I was also tired and worn down all the time.

I recently had the gas guy out to check my furnace which is natural gas. I had some visions and scents from the Lord regarding spent fuel smell that was strange. The gas guy checked the furnace and put a meter into the wall mount and detected 30 ppm carbon monoxide levels coming back down this channel chute at the higher area of the heat radiation screen area. Apparently there is an exhaust channel and a downward channel for air flow or something.

I checked the EPA site and they referenced articles from occupational safety standards which reported a max level for an average 8 hour period of about 25 parts per million (ppm) for safety. Apparently a person can sustain cardiac symptoms and such with improper levels.

I directed the owner of the apartment complex to purchase a new carbon monoxide detector as the old one had sometime expired. They are electro-chemical detectors and no longer function over a period of time. I asked him to purchase the one with the readout of ppm of CO as suggested by the gas guy. He said he would look into it.

When the owner returned he presented me with a cheep $25 dollar detector without a level meter readout. I looked online at the brand he bought and they in fact had level meter readout types available for $45 dollars. I was upset but found that the meter had different warnings depending on levels reached. The first and lowest level that the alarm would sound was 75 ppm CO. After seeing that I will definitely look into a digital readout of my own purchase as I am concerned that 70 ppm CO is too high, and a possible range of 25ppm to 75 ppm is not good to live in. I also was unclear about the living conditions of a 25 ppm sustained breathing of occupants. The gas guy stated that they learned that at those levels over time problems with health may develop and might not be associated with the CO levels of a home gas appliance.

Long story short and probably tons of health insurance costs and doctor visits, testing, etc I was able to find the problem and assess it with guidance from God and other sources. I had to go to the detector manufacturer website and access the PDF manual to get the actual CO levels ppm that the alarm triggered at.

Carbon Monoxide creation occurs when the oxygen levels in the air supplied to the burner are insufficient. One of the symptoms of Carbon monoxide poisoning are headaches.

Carbon monoxide poisoning often occurs when the supply of fresh air for the combustion process is restricted by making the area in which the methane gas is consumed "air tight" to keep the room/house warmer.

An indirect gas heater is the best solution to reduce the possibility of carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide entering the space that is required to be heated.

In earlier times people employed chimney sweepers to remove the build-up of soot from their chimneys to reduce the possibility of incomplete combustion in their open fire places. The same is also needed for Gas heater appliances. The Gas bill will go up if soot is being produced by the burner. Once apon a time people understood these principles and maintained their heating systems accordingly.

Thank God you found it.

There was an old story on Reddit years ago of a person who thought they were being broken into and left strange notes from his "landlord."

He was only requesting legal advice, but people recognized the signs immediately. He was the one writing the notes the whole time.

Happy you figured it out and gas man was good about it.

Dev, did you get the digital meter?

And did the gas guy fix the heater / airflow so that you wouldn't be getting 30 ppm in your apartment?

Hello @DuckieLady. Hope all is well for you and yours.

Landlord couldn't afford the extra $20 USA dollars to allow me a digital readout. That tells me what the acceptable industrial 30ppm levels +- are happening in the apartment. The landlord said he was suppressed by the Biden administration's inflation and other penalties (like gas, insurance, property tax hikes and all other manner of treachery). He could therefor not afford that model. The model I was provided was the $24 dollar model and it begins sounding a loud alarm at 400ppm which is a lethal dose level. I had to carefully go online and access the specifications data for that model. The warnings on that model indicated that if you hear an alarm sound from that device, you are to immediately evacuate the building and then call 911 if you can make it out the door and still conscious enough to dial the emergency number for the first responders. Now the interesting part of this is that good ol' grandma had a special button on her necklace from the health authorities and if she pressed it the first responders were alerted and they would be on their way immediately to her home. I wonder why something like that wasn't installed in that model in the first place? Anyways, after reading the spec's for the device, I had this vision of the dead person walking out the door and while unconscious calling the first responders to provide life sustaining action to save their own past life.

Anyways long story short, I saw the "sucker punch" that was going on and shut the gas off and went with an electric heater unit.

The owner had previously on multiple times inspected the water meter on the unit and some how the water company began charging him thousands and thousands of dollars for extra water that the apartment complex had used. He was already being nice and giving me an affordable rent in Washington states "sanctuary state" ridiculously high rent conduct. Everything here is adjusted for Biden-nomics you see. Now I have some immigrants here on other units as well. Illegal immigrants? Who knows. They are very suspicious in their apartment dwelling conduct as neighbors so I appropriately did not ask.

The other problem which he decided to disclose to me was that an insurance adjuster was going to have to inspect the unit, as under the Biden administrations suspicious conduct, they had to adjust rent, taxes and also insurance for some unknown reason. And that he said was too much as an owner and may have then had to adjust my rent by "doubling" the cost for me.


This is why I therefore am posting this as an anonymous user with a suspicious avatar? I was resonsibly directed by God as a conservative Christian and am therefore alive to this day. Thank you God and the caring Christians!
