    Construction kerosine heaters
    We have a problem with dampness and mold under our house. We were told to get heaters to dry the crawl space before putting down a black plastice to prevent the mold from getting to the house again. My husband has gotten two kerosine construction heaters from a friend to put in the crawl space; my question is: Is there a threat of carbon monoxide poisoning to us when using these heaters in this area? Wehae carbon monoxide monitoring in our house already, ut I am very concerned about this as a health hazard (we already have symptoms of toxic mold syndrome and do notneed anymore problems with our health). Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I would assume, ( hope) that you have left the crawl spaces open, have plenty of air from outside going in??

    If it is the heaters I am thinking of, a fire hazzard would be my biggest concern
