CO2 meter – air indicator including temperature and humidity display

The lack of fresh air in a room is very unhealthy. This leads, among other things, to physical complaints that become noticeable very quickly. In this blog, we list the complaints that are caused by poor ventilation and give tips on how to prevent them.

When you are in a room for a longer period of time, it is important to know whether the air quality is good. If this is not the case, you run the risk of suffering from various health complaints. Especially when there are several people in the house or office, CO2 levels can rise quickly. Now, not only the exposure to a high CO2 level is very harmful, also corona can be transmitted more easily in

In some countries around us, such as Belgium for example, CO2 meters are mandatory in various public areas. The underlying reason is that there is less contamination from corona when there is proper ventilation. This can be measured with a CO2 meter. We strongly recommend using this tool for a healthy indoor climate, even though it is not mandatory in our country. There are many advantages to using a ventilation meter.

Recently, the relationship between CO2 and the spread of covid in classrooms and offices has been investigated. Scientists have developed a new model to predict the risk of infection with corona. They have done this on the basis of the amount of CO2 present. This model emphasises the importance of good ventilation in workplaces and schools. The model was developed by researchers at Imperial College London, the University of Cambridge and the University of Leeds.
