When you lit the gas stove, the LPG gas present in the cylinder is utilized to create the flame in the burner. However, this easy cooking process has a little side effect – it emits small amounts of carbon monoxide. Though these amounts are a bit dangerous, you must be very careful, especially while cooking in enclosed areas. Proper ventilation is key to avoid exposure to carbon monoxide. Or else, you will experience suffocation, fire explosion or health issues.
