Min Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 After a very lengthy discussion in this thread on kiln vent setup the topic of carbon monoxide came up in regards to electric kilns. There hasn't been a lot of discussion on this so I thought I'ld open the topic up a bit in a new thread. University of British Columbia 1996 thesis paper "Exposure to Pottery Kiln Emissions - A Pilot Study to Measure the Vapours and Aerosols Emitted During the Firing Process" by Robert Hirtle https://open.library.ubc.ca/media/download/pdf/831/1.0087615/1 It's an interesting read. Carbon monoxide bit starts on page 59. Just going to screenshot the last couple posts from the link above to kick this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he did not find a tremendous risk I like his cautious summary and recognition that potters applied reason and good practice to stay safe. Also like his general suggestions on exhaust, pretty much consistent with design guidance in North America. I will always encourage CO detectors though, even though there is usually only a small risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
