Ji'nan Daily reporter Zhang Yu
24, the afternoon, the new yellow road fresh hot pot restaurant three diners were abandoned by carbon monoxide, fortunately, no great danger. Reporters learned that after a heavy snowfall, the temperature dropped sharply, and the business of the hot pot shop was even more red, because of the increase in carbon monoxide poisoning caused by hot pot.
at that time, members of the public, Ms. Zhang, and two friends ate in the delicious hotpot restaurant and ate the old style charcoal chafing dish. At first, she felt a bit stuffy, but she didn't care. Half an hour later, three of them had symptoms of nausea and headache. One of them fell unconscious on the table. The store was the main person and dialed 120.
in the hospital, three people were diagnosed as carbon monoxide poisoning. Then they were gradually restored to normal after receiving hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The person in charge of the shop may cause carbon monoxide poisoning due to poor ventilation in the shop, and the shop will bear the cost of diagnosis and treatment for three people and give extra compensation. In addition, the store will immediately improve the ventilation.
people in the industry remind customers that when choosing hot pot, they must check the ventilation facilities and the advantages and disadvantages of using fuel in hot pot shops. Once there are symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and limb weakness, it is necessary to ventilate quickly and leave the scene quickly. In
interview, reporters learned from the 110 and 120 command center of our city that there have been many incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by chafing dish in recent days.
indoor ventilation poor
reporter learned that eating charcoal chafing dish, the biggest hidden trouble is poor ventilation. Some smaller hotpot shops, even with customers inside, are closed doors and windows, and there are no ventilation facilities in restaurants. Some large chafing dish shops have many single rooms, but some single rooms have no windows. In some medium-sized or large chafing dish shops, most of the ventilation installations are tubular. Mr. Zhao, who has done the business of the hot pot shop for many years, told the reporter that when the customers were more, the only pipe exhausting equipment was not enough, because the indoor air was in the pipeline after a circle, and the air was changed with the outside world, so it was too slow and the ventilation effect of the fan was much better.
using inferior charcoal block
some chafing dish shops use fuel specially used for chafing dish. At present, the wholesale price of carbon blocks used in chafing dish carbon stove is about 1.8 yuan per 500 grams, but some chafing dish shops use cheap common carbon blocks instead. Poor quality carbon will smouldering and release more toxic gases.
carbon block releases most of the carbon monoxide during the initial combustion, and the table at the end of the table is more hazardous to health. Charcoal fire pot store, there should be a special focus on the point of carbon, let carbon burning for a period of time, and then end to the diner table, but some people save cost, as much as possible using the temperature of carbon furnace, when the carbon just hot, send to the table.
alarm device missing
a large number of use of gas equipment, from the safety point of view, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide concentration alarm equipment should be set. However, in the chafing dish shop that the reporter interviewed, shop Fang expresses to have not installed similar alarm equipment.
some of the hot pot stores that use gas, and the rubber tube of the gas is everywhere. Once the customer accidentally stepped on the rubber tube of the gas, or the rubber tube was not tight, it would cause the gas leak. If there is no alarm device, there is no trouble in the future. However, due to the lack of relevant laws and regulations, it is necessary to install alarm devices in hot pot shops.
