Posted on Wed, 19 Jul 2017

Question: Can heat production from the oven part of the stove causes carbon monoxide poisoning?

Brief Answer:
Stoves with gas have more risk

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic,

I can understand your concern,

If the stove is an electronic one, no, there is no possibility to be poisoned by carbon monoxide because it does not produce this kind of gas.

Even If the stove is with wooden, they produce carbon monoxide but not in that amount to be poisoned.

Usually, stoves with gas have the risk to produce a large amount of carbon monoxide especially if there is no ventilation in the room area. This is very important to be considered for safety from the users.

I hope this info will help you

Take care and feel free to ask me again
