It is only when CO levels are higher that fatigue, lack of concentration and headaches ultimately occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh air has values far below the air quality described as \u201cgood\u201d with up to 800 ppm (parts per million), namely around 450 ppm. 800 to 1,000 ppm is classified as medium, 1,00 to 1,400 as \u201cmoderate\u201d air quality, and above that as \u201cpoor\u201d air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular ventilation is therefore important if concentration is not to be clouded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CO-Melder\"><\/span>CO detector<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are various CO detectors available on the market. They are usually available as disposable products with a built-in 10-year battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, several warning levels are implemented, which trigger an alarm after the respective threshold value is exceeded over a certain period of time. The higher the concentration, the shorter the time until the alarm. Commonly used are 50 ppm over 60 to 990 minutes, 100 over 10 to 40 minutes and 300 ppm over just 3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the device I use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/B09RSTRR5P\/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PYREX XCO 100<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CO2-Melder\"><\/span>CO2 detector<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/B093L47XZ9\/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technoline WL 1025<\/a> is a universal CO<sub>2<\/sub>-Detector that not only shows the air quality, but also the course of the day, air temperature and humidity, and the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pleasant: it can also be operated directly from a DC source, which saves you having to buy and replace batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately it is only available in black, otherwise it would be a matching color counterpart to the CO detector mentioned above...<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading time<\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>CO and CO2 detectors are often used in motorhomes or caravans to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and to encourage timely ventilation.
