Answer

What is carbon monoxide poisoning and why is it so dangerous in Mallorca homes?

Carbon monoxide is an invisible gas that can build up when heating or cooking appliances do not burn fuel properly. It is especially dangerous because people may not notice it until they become ill or lose consciousness. In Mallorca, the risk can be higher in homes that rely on wood stoves, gas heaters, or older equipment.
