I have an interesting problem. Our apartment lacks adequate ventilation and our co2 levels are always very high. I have a monitors in multiple rooms and at night with the door closed our bedroom is around 1600-2000+ppm. The recommended levels are under 1000ppm. For adults its not great, but my wife and I are expecting our first in March. Prolonged co2 levels above 1500ppm increased risk potential cognitive effects and 2000ppm is very unhealthy for infants. There aren't any laws or regulations around residential indoor air quality, so the apartment complex doesn't have to remedy the situation.

Heute im H&M und im C&A gewesen. Beide hatten CO2 bei unter 700ppm.
Davor waren wir kurz in einem Nagelstudio und danach im Supermarkt.

Ever wondered what’s in the air you’re breathing? The co2.click Model G is here to help you find out! With cutting-edge sensors, seamless connectivity, and versatile options, it’s your ultimate air quality companion. Let’s dive into what makes it special! 👇 #AirQuality

🌫️ The Model G measures particulate matter, and you can choose between two sensors:

Piera IPS-7100: PM0.1, PM0.3, PM0.5, PM1.0, PM2.5, PM5, PM10 (PM0.1 interpolated)
Sensirion SPS30: PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10 (PM4.0 & PM10 interpolated)

Both offer precise monitoring tailored to your needs. 📊 #CleanAir

🌍 Want to monitor CO2 too? The Model G offers an optional dual-beam NDIR CO2 sensor (Sensirion SCD-30). With this add-on, you’ll gain even deeper insights into your air quality. 🌬️✨ #CO2Monitoring

🏡 The Model G is available in two stylish case options: white resin or white PLA (3D printed). Designed with sustainability and functionality in mind, it blends seamlessly into any environment. ♻️✨ #DesignMatters

🌐 Equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity (2.4 GHz), the Model G lets you monitor your air quality from anywhere. No Wi-Fi? No problem! It stores measurements in its internal memory and syncs to the cloud when connectivity is restored. 💾☁️ #SmartMonitoring

💾 The Model G comes with 48 months of data retention in the cloud portal, allowing you to track historical trends and make informed decisions to improve your environment. 🛠️📈 #DataDriven

🔧 Like all cloud-enabled co2.click sensors, the Model G supports Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates for easy upgrades. Powered via USB-C, it’s as convenient as it is powerful. ⚡✨ #TechInnovation

🔋 With the optional CO2 sensor and Wi-Fi off, the Model G offers ~3.5 hours of battery life. While still being optimized, it’s perfect for temporary setups or testing. 🚀🔋 #PortableTech

📲 Ready to elevate your air quality awareness? Visit co2.click to learn more about the Model G and find the perfect setup for your needs. Your lungs (and planet) will thank you! 🌎💚 #AirQualityMonitoring

Did you know? High CO2 levels in your workspace can make you feel sluggish, impair your focus, and lower productivity. Let’s talk about why keeping CO2 and PM (particulate matter) levels low is crucial for your brain and overall health. 🧠🌬️

When CO2 levels rise, your brain gets less oxygen. This can lead to headaches, fatigue, and poor decision-making. Keeping CO2 below 1000 ppm is key for a sharp mind and better performance at work! 💡 #AirQuality

But it’s not just about CO2. Particulate matter (PM) in the air can also impact your health. Fine particles can irritate your lungs, worsen allergies, and increase the risk of respiratory infections. Clean air = healthy lungs! 🫁✨

Here’s the thing: High CO2 levels often indicate poor ventilation. This creates an environment where airborne viruses can linger longer, increasing the risk of infection. Better ventilation = healthier air for everyone! 🤧➡️😌

Keeping CO2 and PM levels low not only boosts focus and lung health but also helps reduce the spread of airborne viruses. Clean air matters—for your brain, body, and community. 🌍✨

So, how can you lower CO2 and PM levels? Start by improving ventilation! Open windows, use fans, or invest in an air purifier with a HEPA filter. These simple steps can significantly improve your air quality. 💨✨

Wondering how to monitor your workspace air quality? That’s where co2.click comes in! Our sensors help you track CO2, PM, and more, empowering you to make your environment safer and healthier. 🌱 co2.click - Revolutionizing indoor air quality, one breath at a time! 💨

in case you hadn't heard about it yet: there's an app, that will take your CO2-measurements and put them on a map for all to see.

"Anyone who has a mobile phone and a supported mobile CO2-Monitor can participate in the data collection. Currently only the most widespread Device, the Aranet4 is supported but it is planned to support the Airvalent and Inkbird as soon as August."

If you don't want to sew you can really make this out of cardboard and tape, or just felt.

Edit: to be clear, I am planning on making one of these. But the plans are by Hannes Fleischer.
