My home office is in a small wing added to the house and is very tightly sealed. When I'm working in there with the windows closed the CO2 soars to 2000 or more. If I open the window the level starts dropping.
It was quite an eye-opener that CO2 levels climbed so high in sealed rooms without ventilation. In years past I've slept in my office and wonder how I didn't pass out after breathing such high CO2 levels all night.
The Netatmo demonstrated how levels of harmful gases can easily soar when sealed in. |
CO carbon monoxide, not to be confused (or interchanged) with CO2, carbon dioxide.
