Here we’ll explain why it is dangerous to sleep in a closed room with a burning coal brazier (angithi)
When coal burns in a closed space, it consumes all the oxygen available the room and then carbon monoxide is produced
This poisonous and odorless gas mix with the haemoglobin present in our blood and forms carboxyhaemoglobin
This carboxyhaemoglobin decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of blood in our body
The brain gets deprived of oxygen
This leads to suffocation and can even cause death
It’s a NO-NO to sleep in a closed room with burning coal inside it
