MANILA\u00a0\u2013 The Department of Health cautioned the public against the harmful effects of using generator sets inside homes or in enclosed spaces during power outages.<\/p>\n

In an advisory on Saturday, DOH said using them during power outages may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.<\/p>\n

The DOH warning was issued in the wake of the onslaught of typhoons that caused infrastructure damages and left many provinces and cities without electricity.<\/p>\n

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), portable backup generators normally used during brownouts produce the poison gas carbon monoxide.<\/p>\n

Carbon dioxide is an odorless, colorless gas that kills without warning.<\/p>\n

CDC said it has killed hundreds of people every year and caused illness to thousands.<\/p>\n

CDC said when electric power goes out, generator sets must be placed outside or in the open.<\/p>\n

CDC added that if generator sets are needed, it should be placed more than 20 feet away from homes, doors, and windows.<\/p>\n

The DOH advisory advised that if an individual experiences headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, confusion and\/or vomiting when using generator sets, they should be immediately brought to the nearest health facility in their area.<\/p>\n
