My smoke detector will go off every couple of weeks, even though we have never had a fire. The detector never goes off when we are cooking either, so there is definitely no smoke. I live in an apartment, so it's possible that a different room is filled with smoke and my detector is going off for some reason. But even so, I have no idea how to get my detector to stop making those horrid screeching noises. I've tried fanning it, but that didn't work. I also changed the batteries, just in case that was bothering it. What can I do to stop this from going off all the time?
Maybe the police wouldn't be shooting pepper spray if these students would just act like normal people and move on.
YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL MIGHT HELP US OUT???
Wash and dry all your clothes. Scrub down the inside of your closet with ammonia and water. Do not use mothballs. If you use mothballs, your closet and everything in it will be ruined forever. You'll NEVER get the smell out. Plus, mothballs are toxic to people, as well as moths. Moth balls contain the chemical Paradichlorobenzene. According to the Material Safety Data Sheet for Paradichlorobenzene: Potential Health Effects: Relevant Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, Ingestion, Eye Contact, Skin Contact. Acute Effects: Ingestion: Symptoms may also include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach distress. Eyes: Vapors may cause irritation. Dust or particles can cause severe irritation. Inhalation: Dust and vapors can cause respiratory tract irritation. Vapor concentrations of p-dichlorobenzene that exceed permissible exposure limits can cause central nervous system depression. Symptoms could include the dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, feeling of drunkenness, unconsciousness and even death. Skin: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause a skin irritation. Carcinogenicity: Listed by NTP and IARC as a carcinogen. Reproductive Effects: None known. Target Organs: Ocular, respiratory, dermal, liver, kidneys, central nervous (CNS). Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Liver, kidney, chronic respiratory disease. I think moth balls should be outlawed. They are extremely toxic. -
