How do carbon dioxide levels effect cognitive performance?

High CO2 levels increase drowsines, headaches and reduce cognitive performance. This fantastic video explores this phenomenon further:

Take a look at our mini CO2 monitors by clicking on the image below:

One simple and effective tool for measuring indoor air quality is to assess the carbon dioxide (CO2 levels).

Outdoor air has a CO2 level of roughly 400 to 450parts per million (ppm).

Animals breath out CO2. Generally the more people in a relatively enclosed air space tge higher the CO2 level.

most jurisdictions accept up to a maximum of 800ppm for ‘safe’ indoor air.

At levels of 1500ppm our ability to concentrate decreases by 50%.

How can we assess the freshness of indoor air?
