Turn on the water heater to shower in 3 unconsciousness in the bathroom at the Phu Tub Berk Resort. The officer went to the area to investigate and clarified the cause.
October 26, 20, Office of Disease Prevention and Control 2 Phitsanulok Province, together with staff from the Phetchabun Provincial Public Health Office Public Health District Police officers from the Lom Kao Police Department, Administrative Division, District of Lom Keng, they visit 2 resorts in Phu Thap Boek in case 3 people have lost consciousness in the bathroom after turning on the water heater
Sarin, 23, is the resort manager and the victim said. The incident occurred around 9:00 p.m. on October 20. They went to shower in the bathroom with the water heater on. That uses cooking gas as a water heater But the ventilation fan is not on When you shower for about 5 minutes, you feel dizzy. So wash your hair to make it disappear. When I finished, I turned off the water heater and prepared to open the bathroom door, but I was exhausted and passed out.
Sarin continued saying I realized again, around midnight, he found that he was already lying in the hospital. From the question that his grandmother saw unusually long going to the bathroom He came and called but did not answer, followed his relatives and broke the door and found him asleep. Therefore, rushed to the hospital. That he slept for 2 days and was able to return to work normally
Ms. Bua (Nam Samut), 30, the owner of the resort at the second point of the incident, said The victims were a four-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, both his children. On the day of the accident, around 4:00 pm on October 23, 63, the two children went to bathe together. With his uncle he opened a gas water heater
Ms. Bua went on to say Then they let the two children bathe and a long time passed. Not seeing the two children return to the room. Then he came to look at the bathroom and found that the door was closed, when I looked at him, the two children were lying unconscious on the bathroom floor. That is why he broke the door to help On the condition that the child is completely cooled Therefore, rushed to the hospital. Now that they are both safe, the doctors are preparing to go home soon.
Mr. Winai Thongchub Public Health Academic Specialist The Office of Disease Prevention and Control 2, Phitsanulok Province, today brought equipment for measuring gases in the atmosphere to measure gas content. To find the cause of such an event The first resort found that the bathroom was quite narrow. Thus simulating the use of the bathroom with the water heater on and the ventilation fan off, it seems that the amount of propane gas is constantly increasing.
Propane gas is a component of cooking gas, when it is large, it replaces the oxygen in the air. Causing the body to become hypoxic and causes a loss of consciousness and can die quickly. But when I tried to turn on the water heater and turn on the ventilation fan, we found only a small amount of propane gas.
The second resource The bathroom does not have a fan. Therefore, the experiments to turn on the water heater, it turned out that the amount of propane gas has been increasing. As for the amount of oxygen, it is constantly decreasing until it is below the standard that can cause people to lose consciousness. But when the water heater was turned off, it turned out that the propane gas dropped only slightly.
It can be concluded that the reason why the three victims lost consciousness was due to propane gas, which is a component of LPG used to make water heaters. When there is more, it will replace the gaseous oxygen. Until the people in the area lack oxygen and finally lose consciousness.
Therefore, the solution and the suggestion is the resource. Place of operation Fans should be installed in both bedrooms and bathrooms. It must also be supplied with canned oxygen. If such an incident occurs, you will be able to help victims in a timely manner.
There will also be a meeting between the relevant departments, including the resort operator. Provide more knowledge and practice guidelines.
