Several health risks are associated with heating equipment:
1. Respiratory Issues: Poorly maintained heating systems can emit pollutants such as carbon monoxide and other particulate matter, leading to respiratory problems. 2. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Faulty heating equipment can result in carbon monoxide leaks, a serious concern that can lead to poisoning and even death. 3. Burns and Injuries: Improper use or malfunctioning of heating devices can cause burns or other injuries, particularly in vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly.
