A reflection of the episode of water, the Lunsfords look at the next major chemistry instigator, fire, and how it affects Home Chemistry. The Lunsfords explore the importance of proper kitchen exhaust sizing and usage, the dreaded ‘Thanksgiving Day’ scenario, and the dangers of combustion gases and low level carbon monoxide poisoning, which is not detected by mainstream CO monitors. Featuring a step-by-step demonstration of how to test a gas water heater or furnace, a field ‘bump test’ of the Defender low-level carbon monoxide detector compared with standard UL-listed units, and an introduction to Home Chemistry with the amazing Dr. Charles Weschler.
