It is very toxic
Yes, kerosene lamps can produce carbon monoxide (CO) as a byproduct of incomplete combustion. When kerosene is burned, it may not fully oxidize, especially if there is insufficient airflow or a poorly maintained lamp. While the levels of carbon monoxide from a kerosene lamp are generally low, using them in poorly ventilated spaces can increase the risk of CO buildup, which can be hazardous. Proper ventilation is essential when using kerosene lamps to minimize this risk.
No. It is toxic to humans.
Old-fashioned lamps were commonly referred to as "oil lamps" or "kerosene lamps," depending on the fuel they used.
