媒體報導，近期天氣寒冷，北部5名大學生同租一層3房住宅，疑似因瓦斯熱水器安裝位置不當及通風不良，發生一氧化碳中毒事故，緊急送醫院治療，其中1位男性學生的房間沒有對外開窗，被同住學生發現昏倒在內；另外4位學生中，兩位有短暫頭暈昏倒，兩位則較輕微無大礙。所幸，5位學生在經過高壓氧治療後，順利恢復並持續追蹤觀察。

Media reports indicate that due to the recent cold weather, five university students sharing a three-bedroom apartment in northern Taiwan suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, suspectedly due to improper installation of the gas water heater and poor ventilation. They were rushed to the hospital for treatment. One male student's room had no external window, and he was found unconscious inside by his roommate. Of the other four students, two experienced brief dizziness and fainting, while the other two had milder symptoms and were unharmed. Fortunately, all five students recovered smoothly after hyperbaric oxygen therapy and are under continued monitoring.
