Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Monitors
Real time monitoring of carbon dioxide within a building for healthier people
Why use sensors to monitor or detect Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless, odourless, faintly acidic-tasting non-flammable gas. In a built environment, Carbon dioxide affects the indoor air quality of building and is most commonly produced by the occupants breathing. High levels of exposure to carbon dioxide can produce a variety of health effects. These may include headaches, dizziness, restlessness, a tingling or pins or needles feeling, difficulty breathing, sweating, tiredness, and increased heart rate. Bluezone24 can help detect a high level of carbon dioxide in a building and alert occupants to take action e.g. increase the amount of fresh air supplied to an area or reduce occupany.

FAQs
ppm = parts per million
| 250-400ppm | Normal background concentration in outdoor ambient air |
| 400-1,000ppm | Concentrations typical of occupied indoor spaces with good air exchange |
| 1,000-2,000ppm | Complaints of drowsiness and poor air. |
| 2,000-5,000 ppm | Headaches, sleepiness and stagnant, stale, stuffy air. Poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate and slight nausea may also be present. |
| 5,000 | Workplace exposure limit (as 8-hour TWA) in most jurisdictions. |
| >40,000 ppm | Exposure may lead to serious oxygen deprivation resulting in permanent brain damage, coma, even death. |
Typical indoor concentrations can range from 380ppm – 2500ppm, although in poorly ventilated spaces, these levels can be greatly exceded. The Workplace Exposure Limits EH40/2005 supplement the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 enforcing 5000 ppm long term exposure (8 hour TWA) to protect against undesirable changes in the acid–base balance of the body. Although CO2 workplace exposure limits are not exceeded, lower concentrates of 1,000ppm have be shown to affect the body physically and psychologically.
High levels of exposure to carbon dioxide can produce a variety of health effects. These may include headaches, dizziness, restlessness, a tingling or pins or needles feeling, difficulty breathing, sweating, tiredness, and increased heart rate.
Carbon dioxide levels may indicate high levels of other harmful air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which contribute to indoor air pollution.
