flag Unusual smells in cars may signal deadly carbon monoxide leaks, warns UK safety agency.

flag Drivers across Britain are being warned that unusual smells inside their cars—such as sweet, chemical, or musty odors—could signal a dangerous carbon monoxide leak from a faulty exhaust, heater, or cracked manifold. flag Though carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, these scents may indicate its presence, posing serious health risks including dizziness, unconsciousness, or death. flag Kazimieras Urbonas of Ovoko urges drivers to seek immediate inspection if such odors are detected, emphasizing that early detection and maintenance are critical to preventing fatal exposure, especially in older vehicles or during colder months when heating systems are in use.
