New version:
Whether you’re taking a break in your car after a long journey, waiting for a friend, or just trying to grab a quick nap, keeping the engine running while inside your vehicle can be extremely dangerous. Recently, Dubai Police issued a serious warning about this common habit due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning—a deadly gas that is odorless, colorless, and nearly impossible to detect without specialized equipment.

In a public awareness video shared on their official social media channels, Dubai Police emphasized the dangers of carbon monoxide exposure in vehicles. They provided several preventive measures to help protect both drivers and passengers from this hidden threat, often referred to as the “silent killer.”

Three Key Safety Tips to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Your Car:

Turn Off the Engine When Parked
If you’re resting or parked for an extended period, always remember to turn off the engine. Keeping it running increases the likelihood of exhaust fumes seeping into the cabin, which can lead to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

Check for Exhaust Leaks Regularly
Make sure your vehicle’s exhaust system is in good working order, as any leaks can greatly heighten the risk of carbon monoxide entering the car. Regular inspections can help prevent these leaks from occurring.

Ventilation is Key
If you absolutely must wait in the car with the engine running, be sure to open a window for ventilation. Even better, turn off the engine completely. Ensuring proper airflow can help minimize the buildup of harmful gases.

Why This Warning Matters
Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen quickly and without any warning signs, leading to symptoms like dizziness, nausea, confusion, and, in severe cases, death. Many drivers may not fully appreciate this risk, especially during colder months when windows are often closed, which increases the likelihood of poisoning.

By raising awareness and sharing these practical tips, Dubai Police hopes to decrease the number of carbon monoxide poisoning incidents and safeguard the well-being of all drivers and passengers. Remember, taking a few simple precautions can be the difference between life and death.
