<p>The symptoms of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning are very similar to flu and it is believed that when patients present at accident and emergency departments with symptoms such as headaches, dizziness and chest pain, that the diagnosis of carbon monoxide poisoning often goes undetected, meaning that patients are then discharged back into an environment that is a potential risk to their life.</p>

<p>The Gas Safety Trust, a charity set up in 2005 to provide funding into research and data collection connected to carbon monoxide exposure, has announced that it will be funding an extensive piece of research at an accident and emergency department at Frimley Park Hospital, Surrey. This research will hopefully give a clearer picture of the extent that UK residents are exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide and will enable health professionals to accurately diagnose CO poisoning.</p>

<p>Many people are subjected to low levels of CO over a prolonged period due to unmaintained appliances that burn carbon fuels, such as gas, wood and coal, or through a blocked chimney for example. If you suffer from flu like symptoms that improve when you are not at home you should check to see if there is any CO present in your home. You can do this by using a CO detector, which is cheap and easy to use. If the detector shows high levels of CO open windows and leave the building. Contact a gas engineer and get your appliances checked out.</p>
