Abstract

CO gas is a side product of coal combustion reaction in stove. The newspapers inform that every winter, many people lose their lives from CO gas poisoning. There are many reasons of CO gas poisoning resulting from coal combustion in stoves. Coal quality, cleanness of chimney, coal stove designs, wind effects are common reasons. This investigation aims to find out and compare the effect of cleanliness of stove chimney on CO gas production in both flue gases and ambient air. The coal which has known chemical properties will be burned in the same coal stove with non-cleaned and cleaned chimney. In experimentation phase, the coal will be burned in a coal stove used in last winter and its chimneys not cleaned as in case of real situation in both houses. The same coal again will be burned but in this case after cleaning its chimneys. As a result, it was concluded that stoves with non-cleaned chimney has CO gas amounts almost two times higher value than the stoves with cleaned chimney. When it is analyzed that the CO gas amount and exposure time which may lead to deaths, it is inevitable that those people which are using stoves with non-cleaned chimneys have more risk of CO gas poisoning than others which are using stoves with cleaned chimneys.
