Dangerous 'laughing gas' canisters left littered in a Bedworth park

Inhaling the gas can lead to fainting and even heart attacks



Scores of dangerous ‘laughing gas’ canisters have been dumped close to a Bedworth children's play area and park.

The metal containers were spotted left littered in the Miners Welfare Park.

It is understood the cannisters, which contain 'laughing gas', were empty and have simply been left abandoned, along with their boxes, at the park, near to Bedworth Leisure Centre.

It has become a dangerous craze for people to use the Co2 cannisters, normally used for pain relief, as a way of getting high.

Warnings have been made about the dangers of inhaling nitrous oxide as it can lead to a drop in blood pressure, fainting and even a heart attack.

I don't think the contents of these containers is CO2.
