一家5口陈尸屋内，竟因"开暖气"，最小孩子未满月

印度(专题)查谟和喀什米尔地区斯里纳加尔市（Srinagar）日前发生一起令人心碎的悲剧。一家五口被发现陈尸于其租屋处。警方初步调查后表示，死因疑似因暖气设备使用不当导致窒息。 综合印媒报导，死者包括一家之主艾贾兹‧艾哈迈德‧巴特（Aijaz Ahmad Bhat）、他的妻子，以及三名年幼的孩子，其中最小的仅出生28天。两个月前因艾贾兹在当地一家饭店担任厨师而举家搬至斯里纳加尔市潘德拉森区（Pandrathan）的租屋处。 根据房东艾哈迈德（Mukhtar Ahmad）描述，事发当天艾贾兹的母亲一整天无法联繫到儿子，请求房东协助查看情况。房东晚间前往敲门，但始终无人应答，于是强行破门而入，发现一家五口已陈尸室内。 警方随后赶到现场，并在房间内找到一台电暖器。经初步调查，五人死于窒息，推测可能因室内长时间使用暖气设备导致氧气不足或一氧化碳浓度过高。目前，遗体已送往医院进行进一步检验，相关调查仍在进行中。 前首席部长阿卜杜拉（Omar Abdullah）也透过社群媒体悼念，并提醒民众在冬季使用暖气设备时务必谨慎。他强调，「在封闭空间内使用加热设备可能造成氧气耗尽或一氧化碳累积，务必遵守相关安全指引，避免类似悲剧再次发生。」 来源：自由时报

Electric heater can generate CO and deplete O2?

No, an electric heater cannot generate carbon monoxide (CO) or deplete oxygen (O2) because it does not burn fuel to create heat; instead, it uses electricity to directly heat a heating element, meaning there is no combustion process involved which produces CO as a byproduct. Key points about electric heaters and CO: No combustion, no CO: Since electric heaters don't burn anything, they cannot produce carbon monoxide. Only fuel-burning heaters produce CO: Gas heaters, oil heaters, and fireplaces are examples of appliances that can produce carbon monoxide if not properly vented. Important to ventilate: Even though electric heaters don't produce CO, it's still important to maintain good ventilation in your home to prevent potential buildup of other pollutants
