How NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) Technology Works
How does our sensor manage to take such precise CO2 readings?
Our carbon dioxide monitoring systems are based on Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR)technology. This optical sensing method detects gas levels by measuring how much infrared light the gas absorbs.
Why It Matters to Monitor Carbon Dioxide
CO2 is a natural by-product of human breathing. In crowded or poorly ventilated indoor spaces, the levels can rise quickly and go past healthy limits. Outdoor air stays at around 400 PPM, but indoor spaces can turn stuffy and unsafe without proper air exchange and monitoring.
Health Impacts
Dizziness
Restlessness
Reduced Concentration
Breathing Difficulties
Increased Blood Pressure
Nausea
Environmental Data Analysis
Daily Ups and Downs in CO2 Levels
Track how CO2 levels (PPM) change through the day. Then you can fine-tune the airflow and keep the indoor air fresh. These patterns show you the peak hours when air exchange is needed most.
Weekly Carbon Dioxide Trends
Our sensor gives you detailed weekly CO2 data. It shows how the number of people in a room affects air quality in schools, offices, and commercial spaces. Accurate tracking leads to healthier, more productive spaces.
Why Real-time Tracking is Essential
Too much indoor carbon dioxide will often lead to:
Loss of Mental Focus:
High gas levels can sharply reduce your alertness and your mental sharpness.
Health Complications
Repeated exposure can affect how well you breathe and your overall physical well-being over time.
Occupant Discomfort
Stuffy rooms tend to make everyone in the space feel tired and much less at ease.
CO2 AQI Levels & Safety Guidelines
The best air quality levels for health, maximum comfort, and productivity.
Slightly raised levels; sensitive people may notice the air feels a little stuffy.
Higher CO2 levels can make you feel drowsy and less able to focus.
High gas levels that may cause headaches and tiredness that lingers on.
Hazardous indoor pollution that needs action right now to improve the airflow.
Very high gas levels; leave the area at once or start maximum ventilation right away.
Precision Sensor Calibration
Prana Air sensors are calibrated with the industry-standard zero-point baseline method. Our devices set a 400 PPM reference, equal to fresh outdoor air, over a 96-hour (4-day) cycle. This keeps the readings reliable over the long term.
The Many Different Uses of the CO2 Sensor
Primary Sources of CO2 Gas
Human-Made Sources
Burning of fossil fuels in cars, trucks, and aircraft.
Open burning of household waste or farm waste materials.
Heavy industry and power plants, both of which rely on burning operations.
Indoor air pollution caused by tobacco smoking.
Natural Phenomena
CO2 released when carbonate rocks go through a chemical reaction with water.
Large amounts of greenhouse gases released during volcanic eruptions.
Gas released as glaciers and icebergs melt into the surrounding water.
Natural gas and petroleum deposits trapped within the Earth's crust.
