unflued gas heaters in your home

Studies undertaken over recent years have shown that unflued gas heaters may be a source of toxic gases.  The Clean Air Society has published reports regarding the health risks associated with unflued gas heaters, especially to the young, the sick and the elderly.  A monograph on the health effects of unflued gas heater use in Australia has been released by the Environmental Health Committee (enHealth), Australian Health Protection Committee, Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
