I realized that kerosene heater without exhaust that often used in cooler Japan area is really bad after I bought CO2 meter. CO2 easily go 10000ppm if ventilation is a bit poor (even poor insulation). Kerosene heater with exhaust pipe seems to fine, but now heat pump is generally better option. Still it seems to good backup for not to be death by freeze.

- fomine3 4y agoModern kerosene heaters have a "ventilation sensor" (I don't know what it is, O2 or CO?) so it alerts or stops when the room is not ventilated. Deadly accident isn't popular so it seems that it's somewhat mitigated by the sensor and poorly insulated house, but some heaters were recalled due to CO deadly accident. It's not recommended to use it on modern insulated house.
