In Lviv, on Verkhratskoho Street, an incident of carbon monoxide poisoning occurred, affecting a woman born in 1997 and her child born in 2019. Both were hospitalised. This was reported by the Department of Civil Protection and Territorial Defence of the Lviv City Council.
Experts from Lvivgaz have halted the gas supply to investigate the cause of the incident. Since the beginning of 2026, there have already been 41 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning in Lviv, affecting 75 people, including 29 children. Unfortunately, one person has died.
All poisoning incidents occurred due to non-compliance with the rules for using gas appliances. Experts emphasise the importance of ensuring a fresh air supply in rooms with heating appliances and cleaning ventilation channels.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include severe headache, weakness, drowsiness, dizziness, and vomiting. If these symptoms appear, all combustion appliances should be immediately turned off, one should go outside, and call for an ambulance and the gas emergency service.
