Normal CO₂ concentrations in air (approximately 400 ppm) pose no significant health risks. However, when concentrations rise to several thousand or even tens of thousands of ppm, varying degrees of health risk may occur.
Health Risks Caused by High Concentrations:
① Suffocation and Hypoxia
When CO₂ concentrations exceed a certain level (e.g., 15,000 ppm, or 1.5%), they can restrict oxygen intake, leading to difficulty breathing, dizziness, fatigue, and even suffocation.
② Respiratory Irritation
Lower CO₂ concentrations (e.g., 10,000 ppm) may cause respiratory irritation, resulting in coughing and sore throat.
③ Chronic Effects
Long-term exposure to elevated CO₂ levels may cause symptoms such as headaches, decreased concentration, and fatigue.
How to Prevent High CO₂ Concentrations:
① Maintain Good Ventilation
Indoors or in enclosed spaces, ensure constant air circulation. Open windows frequently, use exhaust fans, or use air purifiers to reduce CO₂ concentrations.
② Use a monitoring device
Use a CO₂ detector to monitor CO₂ concentrations in the air in real time and take prompt action if concentrations exceed the standard.
③ Plan space usage appropriately
Avoid crowding and prolonged confinement in enclosed spaces, especially during strenuous exercise or activities that generate large amounts of CO₂.
④ Ensure proper functioning of air circulation systems
Inspect and maintain ventilation systems, including exhaust fans and ventilation systems, to ensure they are functioning properly.
