A Many people don't realize that
Oregon law forbids use of unvented
kerosene heaters m homes Slnos
most of the keroaeoc beaters used ui
the state are unvented. and the State
can't determine which heaters are
vented properly and which aren't.
Energy Assistance won t pay for
kerosene
Unvented kerosene heaters are
considered unsafe because they pose
a fire hazard and produce com bus
tion gases especially hazardous to
infants, pregnant women, the elder

cardiovascular diseases
Many newer models have firs
safety features and are approved by
Underwriter laboratories But ns
not all kerosene heaters have these
