What is Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Carbon Monoxide (also known as CO) is a colourless, odourless poisonous gas and is a common yet preventable cause of death from poisoning worldwide. Approximately half of the deaths from unintentional CO poisonings result from the inhalation of smoke from fires. Other significant causes are vehicle exhausts and deaths in industrial / commercial settings. On average between 1 and 2 people die each year in Ireland from unintentional CO poisoning in the home in incidents related to domestic heating or other fossil fuel installations in the home (i.e. excluding the inhalation of smoke from fires).

The incomplete combustion of organic fossil fuels such as oil, gas or coal is a common environmental source of CO and is responsible for many cases of non-fatal unintentional CO poisoning.
In normal conditions the combustion process (the addition of oxygen) will result in carbon in the fossil fuel, combining with oxygen, in the air, to produce Carbon Dioxide (CO2), the same substance we exhale when we breathe.
However, if there is a lack of air for the combustion process or the heating appliance is faulty, Carbon Monoxide can be produced.
When CO is inhaled into the body it combines with the blood, preventing it from absorbing oxygen. If a person is exposed to CO over a period, it can cause illness and even death.
Carbon Monoxide has no smell, taste or colour. This is why it is sometimes called the "Silent Killer".
Carbon Monoxide alarms can be used as a backup to provide a warning to householders in the event of a dangerous build up of CO. Check that the Carbon Monoxide alarm complies with the EN 50291 standard. Remember that Carbon Monoxide alarms are no substitute for regular inspection and maintenance of appliances, vents, flues and chimneys.

ADVANTAGES TO SELLING WITHOUT AN ESTATE AGENT
By cutting out the estate agent, you can pocket the 1.5% (on average) commission they charge. For example, if you sell your home for €400,000 you would save €7,000 !!!! on commission and VAT.
By selling your property yourself, you have the option of lowering the asking price by up to 1.5% (since you don't have to pay a commission). This will clearly attract more buyers. The buyer will be getting a great deal, while you' are still netting more money than you would have had you used an agent - even if you reduce your house price by the agents full commission, you still save on the VAT that is added to this commission

Aspergillus was found in Dublin houses!!Warning!!!

Aspergillus is the name of the mold associated with a variety of diseases caused by the mold Aspergillosis. The widespread forms are allergic broncho-pulmonary aspergillosis, pulmonary aspergilloma and invasive aspergillosis.
Humans breathe in Aspergillus spores every day. Aspergillosis exploit individuals who have an immune deficiancy system, by disease or from immune assited drugs that keep the immune system in check, and this is a leading cause in death from acute leukaemia. On the other hand, it may also develop as an allergic response. The most common cause is Aspergillus fumigatus.
A fungus nest in the lungs may cause no symptoms and only discovered with a chest X-ray. Repeated coughing up of blood and severe, fatal, bleeding. A rapidly persistent Aspergillus infestation in the lung causes cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing.

Aspergillosis also impinge on the deeper tissues making a person very ill. Warning signs include fever, chills, shock, disorientation, and blood clots, which also develops into kidney failure, liver failure, and breathing difficulties. Death can occur quickly.

Aspergillosis in the ear canal results in itching and occasionally pain. Fluid leaking from the ear, and sinuses the sense of congestion or pain and discharge.

Aspergillosis kills people with compromised immune systems. Other diseases caused by known pathogenic molds are: Blast mycosis, Candidiasis, Coccidioido mycosis, Cryptococcus, Histoplasmosis, Paracoccidio mycosis, Sporotrichosis, and Zygomycosis, many of these diseases come in more than one form, and they all infect nearly any part of the body.

Mould in apartment

Because of the temperature differences between the street and the apartment, there is a high humidity in the room, the livingroom and the bathroom, so I found extremly big black mould smudges under the windows, around the windows, in the corners under the windows area, behind the toilet, behind the bed on the wall, close to the floor, and specially in the bedroom, behind the bed on the floor after few days I found moisture condensation.
