  • Page 9: Carbon Dioxide (Co2)

    UNDERSTANDING THE AIR QUALITY METRICS 1. CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) Carbon Dioxide is a gas which is colorless, tasteless, and important for plant photosynthesis. Too much CO2 may cause drowsiness, reduce cognitive function, and poor decision making. CO2 is generally allowable up to 1,000ppm. With readings above 2,000, it can cause dizziness, tinnitus, or even suffocation.
  • Page 10 2. TOTAL VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (TVOC) TVOC stands for “Total Volatile Organic Compounds” and is comprised of organic compounds / substances that have a high vapor pressure. Irritation to nose, throat, eyes and affects on breathing which could produce symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, skin problems and more. High levels could affect organs and damage the lungs, liver, kidney or the nervous system.
  • Page 11 3. FORMALDEHYDE (HCHO) Formaldehyde is a gas that is pungent and colorless. It is typically released from burning products such as kerosene, gas, wood, or tobacco. Impact on Health: High levels of HCHO can cause eyes, nose, and throat to have a burning sensation. It will affect breathing significantly.
  • Page 12 PARTICULATE MATTER PM 2.5 Fine particulate matter that is 2.5 microns or less in diameter. shortness of breath, fatigue, coughing, chest discomfort possibly leading to heart attacks, strokes, asthma, and bronchitis, premature death from heart ailments, lung disease and cancer. PM2.5 is worse than PM10 because its size is smaller, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the lungs.
  • Page 13 PARTICULATE MATTER PM 10 Fine particulate matter that is 10.5 microns or less in diameter Nasal and upper respiratory tract health problems causing long-term effects that differ depending on the source Cooking (especially using the stovetop) High emissions of gas, oil, diesel fuel and burning wood Pollutants that come from power plants, automobiles, and indus trial buildings Older appliances that burn (stove) will produce higher levels of PM Tips to Improve: Remain indoors when external levels are high.

Respiratory and circulatory systems issues which vary depending on the source Cold winter air Cooking Pollution from traffic...
  • Page 15 8. HUMIDITY Humidity is the level of water vapor in the atmosphere. With an increase of humidity by 35% or more, formaldehyde emissions will increase and remain suspended in the air. Humid outdoor weather Activities which release steam / moisture into the air such as drying laundry, taking a hot bath or shower, or boiling water/liquid Tips to Improve: Utilize dehumidifiers to control levels of humidity.
  • Page 16 This air quality monitor is meant to be used indoors and kept dry at all times. It is strongly recommended to store in a cool, dry place.
