A mother of three was asked by her council landlord to provide a blood test to prove she wasn't suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning after her boiler was deemed 'immediately dangerous'. Roseanna Clarkin, from Clydebank, was hospitalized with breathing difficulties and headaches before an engineer declared her boiler unsafe. City Technical Services (UK) Ltd, the council's repair contractor, demanded a blood test which showed elevated CO levels. Roseanna has criticized the council's actions, arguing it is their responsibility to prove the boiler is safe, not hers. The council has since installed environmental sensors to monitor air quality and Roseanna's boiler has been turned back on.
