CO2innehåll

CO2innehåll refers to the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a specific medium, typically air. This can be measured in various environments, including the atmosphere, enclosed spaces like buildings, or even within biological systems. Atmospheric CO2 concentration is a key indicator of climate change, as CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Global average CO2 levels have been steadily rising since the Industrial Revolution, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

In indoor environments, CO2innehåll is influenced by human respiration and ventilation rates. Elevated CO2 levels indoors can lead to reduced cognitive function, headaches, and fatigue. Therefore, monitoring and managing CO2innehåll through proper ventilation is important for maintaining good indoor air quality and occupant well-being. Scientific research and industrial processes also involve measuring CO2innehåll to understand chemical reactions, monitor combustion efficiency, and assess environmental impact. The units used to express CO2innehåll commonly include parts per million (ppm) or percentage (%).
