According to city-adm.lviv.ua, since the beginning of 2026, there have been 31 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning in Lviv, affecting 59 people, including 20 children. This morning, in a house on Fedkovycha Street, two people, a man and a woman, were poisoned by carbon monoxide and were taken to the regional hospital in moderate condition.
The leadership of the Department of Civil Protection and Territorial Defense of the Lviv City Council emphasizes the importance of following the rules for using gas appliances, as all cases of poisoning occurred due to their violation. Specialists urge city residents to ensure fresh air is available in rooms with heating appliances and to maintain the cleanliness of ventilation channels.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, weakness, drowsiness, dizziness, and possible nausea. If these symptoms are detected, all heating appliances should be turned off immediately, access fresh air, and call an ambulance and the gas emergency service.
“Remember, in any accident involving gas (explosion, fire, poisoning), you should call one of the city services: ambulance — 103, fire department — 101, gas service — 104, police — 102. Any of these services will contact the others, and all necessary authorities will arrive at the scene,” specialists emphasize.
