Can Aluminum Foil Fumes And Odor Cause Fainting Symptoms?
I am concerned about a friend who seems to zone out and almost fall asleep during a conversation. I discovered aluminum foil with a black sooty residue hidden in bathroom trash. There was an unusual odor in the room also. Can this foil be tested or does it need to be done?
In short: Any incomplete combustion can release Carbon monoxide(CO) which can cause unconsciousness and even death.
Explanation: Incomplete combustion of any material will release carbon monoxide to the atmosphere and if Carbon monoxide inhales can cause incapacitation/unconsciousness and eve death. So, have complete ventilation in your bath room and avoid any short circuits/burning inside the room. Hope this will help you. Please let me know.
