During the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers discovered a remarkable correlation between CO2 levels and the spread of the virus. They found that higher CO2 concentrations were associated with faster transmission of the virus, as high CO2 indicates poor ventilation and a higher chance of breathing in exhaled air containing the virus.
Further studies have shown that CO2 levels above 1000 ppm can cause symptoms such as drowsiness, lack of concentration, and fatigue. As CO2 levels rise to 2500 ppm, headaches can occur. Prolonged exposure to high CO2 levels can also lead to serious health conditions such as hypercapnia.
In many European countries, CO2 wireless sensors are mandatory in classrooms and other indoor spaces. This requirement arises from the need to manage indoor air quality without compromising heating efficiency. Controlling ventilation with devices like the Mutelcore Smart CO2 Wireless Sensor can ensure that in cold climates, ventilation systems can lead to heat loss and increased gas costs. By using CO2 sensors like the Mutelcore LoRa CO2 Sensor, these countries ensure that air quality remains safe and efficient without the need for constant ventilation, helping to retain indoor heat and reduce energy expenditure.
LoRa (Long Range) technology
LoRa (Long-Range) is a wireless technology that operates at sub-GHz radio frequencies. It is designed to enable long-distance transmissions with low power consumption, making it ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
