As we exhale carbon dioxide, the larger the number of occupants and the longer the time spent in a poorly ventilated room, the higher the CO2 level rises.
Concentrations above 800 ppm begin to adversely affect health, causing headaches and fatigue through to breathing difficulties and other more serious conditions.
Typical outside CO2 levels – 400ppm
Typical indoor CO2 levels – 800ppm
How we feel and function, both on a personal and a social level, as well as how we evaluate our lives as a whole is directly affected by our environment and the quality of air we breathe.
It is scientifically proven that health can be compromised and high levels of CO2 can result in slower reaction times and reduced capacity to process information, lowering productivity. Recent tests have shown that by lowering CO2 levels from typical office levels to optimal levels, cognitive test scores were improved by 12% and tests were completed 60% faster.
Reducing the incidence of COVID-19 infection is a major challenge requiring many different approaches, one of which is improving ventilation in indoor spaces.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines assert that COVID-19 can be spread via small droplets and aerosols which can linger in the air for minutes to hours. Proper air exchange and ventilation can shorten this time interval 10 times.
The Government and Industry advises ventilation rates be increased in all enclosed public spaces according to room occupancy and size.
This is where Omni Sensors and Transmitters comes in with an Indoor air monitoring solution to suit all requirements.
An innovative battery-powered stand-alone bluetooth sensor for monitoring CO2, temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity which should be maintained within the 40-60% range. It is the perfect device for monitoring the air exchange rate; warning when air quality has become unhealthy so that action can be taken to improve airflow.
