Our blood pH levels are maintained in large part by carbon dioxide. On the other hand, high CO2 levels can cause blood acidification, which can cause symptoms like weariness, drowsiness, and difficulty focusing. Depending on the amount of CO2 present, these symptoms could even worsen into excruciating headaches.
Long-term exposure to high CO2 levels can also shorten life expectancy and increase the risk of developing a number of health problems.
Parts per million (ppm) is the unit of measurement for CO2 concentrations; 800 ppm is deemed safe. A yellow warning zone with levels between 1,000 and 1,500 ppm may cause exhaustion and drowsiness, while levels beyond 1,500 ppm may cause excruciating headaches.
By giving customers access to real-time CO2 concentration data, the Mutelcor CO2 Sensor enables users to control ventilation and uphold a healthy indoor atmosphere. It is crucial to comprehend how this system functions and gathers data in order to manage air quality efficiently.
Furthermore, CO2 sensors are useful in a variety of environments, including workplaces, malls, and hospitals, where it’s critical to maintain the best possible indoor air quality.
NDIR CO2 sensors are used in CO2 gas detectors to identify the presence of CO2 molecules in the air by measuring how much infrared light is absorbed. A single band of infrared light is absorbed by the CO2 gas molecules in an air sample tube, while other wavelengths of light are allowed to flow through.
