Abstract

Two cases of carbon monoxide poisoning involving 3 victims occurred in Cameron Highlands in the months of August and September 1995. Two of the victims were found dead in the bathrooms where they were taking a bath while the other one survived. Blood toxicology from the post mortems revealed high levels of carbon monoxide. The only significant source of carbon monoxide in both cases were the gas water heaters which were installed in the bathrooms. A multigas detector was used to monitor the level of carbon monoxide in one of the bathrooms and carbon monoxide was found to be produced to 1200 ppm in 16 minutes during operation of the heater. Carbon monoxide poisoning from gas water heaters installed in bathroom is a significant hazard.

摘要

1995年8月和9月，马来西亚金马仑高原发生了两起一氧化碳中毒事件，涉及3名受害者。其中两名受害者被发现死于浴室，当时他们正在洗澡，另一名受害者幸存。尸检的血液毒理学显示一氧化碳含量很高。在这两起事件中，一氧化碳的唯一重要来源是安装在浴室的燃气热水器。使用多气体探测器对其中一间浴室的一氧化碳水平进行监测，发现热水器运行期间，一氧化碳在16分钟内产生量达到1200 ppm。安装在浴室的燃气热水器导致一氧化碳中毒是一个重大危害。
