安大略省将授权从2026年1月1日开始的大多数家庭安装一氧化碳警报器,以防止中毒。 Ontario will mandate carbon monoxide alarms in most homes starting Jan. 1, 2026, to prevent poisonings.

安大略的二氧化碳意识周, 持续11月1日至7日, 突显无色、无气味的气体「沉默杀手」的危险性。 Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week in Ontario, running November 1–7, highlights the dangers of the colorless, odorless gas known as the "silent killer." 自2026年1月1日起,安大略省将要求各级家庭使用燃烧燃料的电器、壁炉、附属车库或外部供暖来源,即使它们没有睡眠区,也需要使用一氧化碳警报系统。 Starting January 1, 2026, Ontario will require carbon monoxide alarms on every level of homes with fuel-fired appliances, fireplaces, attached garages, or external heating sources—even if they lack sleeping areas. 该规则也适用于公寓和护理设施等多单元建筑物。 The rule also applies to multi-unit buildings like apartments and care facilities. 警报必须是硬线、电池动力或插件,房东负责租房的安装和维修。 Alarms must be hard-wired, battery-powered, or plug-in, and landlords are responsible for installation and maintenance in rental units. 安装警报器是非法的 Tampering with alarms is illegal. 中毒的症状包括头痛、头晕、恶心和疲劳(类似于流感),并可能演变成昏迷或死亡。 Symptoms of poisoning include headache, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue—similar to the flu—and can progress to unconsciousness or death. 如果怀疑发生接触,居民应撤离、拨打911,并在重新入境前等待应急反应人员。 If exposure is suspected, residents should evacuate, call 911, and wait for emergency responders before re-entering. 该省强调,工作CO警报是探测气体和防止死亡的唯一可靠方法。 The province emphasizes that working CO alarms are the only reliable way to detect the gas and prevent fatalities.
