Why Do We Need to Measure CO2 with CO2 Monitor?
High and unmonitored Co2 concentrations can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, and a stinging sensation. Higher amounts can cause breathing difficulties (shortness of breath), perspiration, tiredness, vomiting, or increased heart rate. At extremely high Co2 levels, it may lead to unconsciousness.
Though the ambient air contains diluted Co2, this is not evident within a building or in a confined space, such as a restaurant, bedroom, or workplace. This is even worse in populated areas with poor ventilation systems such as schools, banks, and auditoriums.
Therefore, regular monitoring of carbon dioxide levels is essential to ensure proper and timely management of Co2 levels. Co2 Levels in the outside (or atmospheric) air are approximately 400ppm (parts per million). Humans emit between 35,000 and 50,000 ppm of Co2 into the environment on average.
If this volume of Co2 remains in a closed space, it can be detrimental to health. Therefore, Co2 level monitors are essential safety equipment that must be used along with the existing ventilation system.
Benefits of Co2 Monitor
- Improves sleep quality and mental health
- Balanced Co2 levels help increase cognitive functions
- Promotes a healthy lifestyle and boosts the immune system
- It prevents sick building syndrome which is caused due to poor air quality
- Reduces Pollution
COVID-19 and Co2 Monitor!
Carbon dioxide levels in buildings are becoming increasingly correlated to the spread of infection through the air. According to recent research, monitoring carbon dioxide levels indoors is an inexpensive and effective way to monitor the risk of people contracting COVID-19.
As a result, Co2 monitors could serve as a “canary in the coalmine” for coronavirus mitigation. Higher levels of Co2 in a room may lead to an increased possibility of spread of COVID-19 if an infected person is present in the room. Even though balanced Co2 levels do not completely eradicate the risk of COVID-19, it reduces the possibility of transmission as it allows in pointing out the state of ventilation.
Pair it up with a good-quality medical air purifier and you are good to go!
This assessment of air quality has become necessary during a global pandemic. With the help of the Euromate pure air mini Co2 level monitor, you can detect whether your space is poorly ventilated, take necessary actions to improve it, and in turn, reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
Areas of Application
CO2 monitors can be used in a variety of residential, commercial, and/or industrial settings. Please get in touch with us today to discuss your project.
Schools
Measuring Co2 levels is essential to determine if adequate and healthy ventilation is being provided to the students and the staff. High levels of carbon dioxide have proven to lower students’ performance and cause long-term health problems. Increased carbon dioxide levels also have a direct and unfavorable impact on cognition and decision-making abilities. With the help of Co2 level monitors in schools, these levels can be continuously monitored, and hence, informed decisions can be taken on time.
Offices
On average, people spend around 8 hours daily at work. This could involve a group of people spending several hours in a confined environment and thus, being subject to increasing CO2 levels. Air quality in an office or work environment must be adequate to ensure good work performance and the workforce’s well-being. The Euromate Pure Air Co2 sensor is easy to place in offices due to its sleek and lightweight design. With offices re-opening after the global pandemic outbreak, it is extremely important to consider the health risks that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contains.
Home
Home is where you spend most of your time, and being exposed to a high concentration of carbon dioxide throughout the day is detrimental to your health. In extreme cases, high levels of carbon dioxide in the air can be life-threatening. Thanks to Euromate Pure Air Co2 Sensor, now you can measure the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in real-time without any hassle.
Euromate Pure Air Presents Air-Box
Euromate Air-box is the ultimate Co2 monitor for optimum safety. Unlike other brands, Air-box has a multifunction detection feature, which helps detect Co2, HCHO, PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10.
With the help of an infrared sensor, the data is updated every second without the influence of oxygen on the Co2 data. The Air-box provides accurate measurement sensitivity and can detect particles smaller than 1um.
The 16-bit full HD screen with colored labeling makes the identification relatively easier for the user. The design is contemporary and simple, making it a sleek decorative product for your room, kitchen, car, or your work desk. The Air-box is portable, lightweight, and comes with a mobile app to monitor your air quality on the go.
FAQs
A Co2 monitor or sensor is an instrument to measure the level of carbon dioxide in the air around you. They are mainly used to keep track of Co2 levels in a space to help maintain the air quality.
2. How does a Co2 Monitor Work?
There are various kinds of monitors; however, an Infrared-based carbon dioxide monitor usually detects the level of carbon dioxide by calculating the absorption of infrared light at a specific wavelength.
3. Why should I choose Euromate Pure Air’s Co2 Monitor?
Euromate Pure Air mini Co2 monitor has a competitive edge as its high measurement sensitivity accurately represents the Co2 levels in the room. Moreover, it is portable and easy to use, unlike monitors installed in a ventilation system. It also provides accurate real-time data which is updated every second.
4. What is a Sick Building Syndrome?
Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is a term used to describe instances in which occupants or visitors to a building have health or comfort-related effects that can be traced back to the amount of time they spent within. In most cases, there is no apparent illness or reason.
5. How is SBS associated with CO2?
There is a strong association between CO2 levels and SBS. If you are observing SBS symptoms like frequent headaches, nasal, eye, or breathing issues, or constant fatigue the carbon dioxide concentration is high in your surroundings.
