Can soot cause carbon monoxide poisoning?

When organic fuels such as wood and coal burn, you may see black smoke coming off the flames, which is carbon released from incomplete combustion. When this smoke gets trapped in a house fire or a dirty chimney, this causes the particles to linger in the air. These particles eventually land on a surface, manifesting as a black residue that contains chemicals.

Carbon creates chemicals like tar, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. After a chimney or house fire, carbon monoxide is trapped in the house and is undetectable without a carbon monoxide detector. Touching or interacting with the soot in any way exposes you to carbon monoxide, which could eventually cause you to experience severe symptoms.

How to recognise symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

It is easy to mistake the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning for a common cold, the flu, or food poisoning. Carbon monoxide is invisible, odourless, and tasteless, meaning you will be unaware of its presence without a carbon monoxide detector.

By continuing to stay in a fire-damaged home that smells of smoke odours, you might be at risk of inhaling dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. If you start to experience carbon monoxide symptoms after a house fire, you must consult a medical professional immediately and find temporary accommodation:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Stomach pains
• Confusion
• Shortness of breath
• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures

Why is a smoke odour coming from the fireplace?

An open fireplace and chimney can be lovely features for your home, but they bring about a risk we may not consider. If you are burning wood and coal, then it is probable that there is carbon released from the fire and up the chimney. However, if you are not cleaning your chimney enough, there is likely a build-up of soot.

When soot builds up in your chimney enough, it stops smoke from escaping. It causes a build-up of pressure where smoke circulates back into your home instead — bringing in soot particles and carbon monoxide. Eventually, soot will settle around your fireplace, and any furniture nearby could start to smell smoke.

When this happens, you must have your chimney cleaned immediately and contact smoke odour removal services.
