Figure 1.In 2018, there were 11,523 deaths caused by carbon monoxide poisoning reported in China, with the highest number of deaths in January (2,845), February (2,321), and December (2,010). The proportions of carbon monoxide poisoning deaths occurring at home were far higher than that of other places in the winter with the highest proportions occurring in December (72.59%), January (67.42%), and February (66.48%). The proportion of deaths occurring at home remained stable in the summer months such as June (51.41%), July (50.00%), and August (52.78%). This suggests carbon monoxide poisoning in winter months needs further attention and awareness.
