 ==== Non-ventilated Propane Heaters ====
-Note:  these are called //non-ventilated// heaters because there is no external exhaust.  There are several things to keep in mind:
+Note:  these are called //non-ventilated// heaters because there is no external exhaust for the heater.
-  * **Ventilation in the heated space is still required**.  (ie the heater isn't vented but your living space must be**
+  * **Ventilation of the heated space is still required**.  (ie the heater isn't vented but your living space must be)
   * the primary outputs of propane combustion/catalysis are **water vapor** and **CO2**.  This means running an unvented propane heater will increase the humidity in your vehicle. You may require additional ventilation or [[hvac:dehumidifier|dehumidification]] unless you are in an area with very low humidity.
-  * when O2 levels are too low the reaction gives off increasingly-deadly amounts of CO((carbon *mon*oxide)).  This is the same culprit as deaths from folks running generators indoors, vehicles in the garage, etc.  So we keep O2 levels normal by ventilating the space.
+  * **if  O2 levels are too low** (due to insufficient ventilation)  the reaction gives off **increasingly-deadly amounts of CO**((carbon *mon*oxide)).  This is the same culprit as deaths from folks running generators indoors, vehicles in the garage, etc.  So we keep O2 levels normal by ventilating the space.
   * Any forced air heater will require electrical power to run the fan.
