Toxicity depends upon the amount. CO2 is toxic and regularly kills humans when space heaters fail. But it's everywhere in the atmosphere in small amounts.

- barbazoo 1y agoYou probably mean CO and not CO2. CO2 can be toxic but isn’t related to space heaters.
- AlexandrB 1y agoWhen I think "space heater" I imagine one of those electric things you put in a cold room. So I'm not sure where CO or CO2 would be coming from.
- ekianjo 1y agoGas heaters exist as well. This is presumably what the above poster referred to
- zdragnar 1y agoPlenty of space heaters that burn propane are available. They're especially handy for hunting shacks and ice fishing houses. Alas, some people will occasionally use them indoors with poor ventilation, which is a Bad Idea.
- barbazoo 1y agoI gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed they meant some sort of gas heater.
