The Science of NDIR CO2 Sensing
How does our sensor give you such precise gas level readings?
Prana Air carbon dioxide sensing systems are powered by Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR)technology. This optical sensing method detects gas levels by measuring how much infrared light the gas absorbs at set wavelengths.
Why Tracking CO2 Levels Is So Vital
Humans breathe out carbon dioxide naturally with every breath. In crowded or poorly ventilated indoor spaces, the levels can climb quickly and go well past safe limits. Outdoor air stays at around 400 PPM, but indoor spaces can soon become unsafe without proper checks and fresh air exchange.
Impact on Human Health
Dizziness
Restlessness
Impaired Concentration
Breathing Difficulties
Hypertension
Nausea
A Look at Environmental Data
Daily CO2 Level Fluctuations
See how carbon dioxide levels (PPM) shift through the day. Then you can fine-tune your indoor airflow and keep fresh air flowing for the people in the building.
Weekly CO2 Monitoring Review
Track detailed weekly CO2 data to see how the number of people in a room affects air quality. This covers offices, schools, and commercial sites. Such detailed tracking helps keep the indoor space safer.
The Need for Active Tracking
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 while at work.
Long-term Health Risks
Repeated exposure can affect how well you breathe and your overall physical well-being over time.
Occupant Discomfort
Poorly ventilated rooms feel stuffy, which leaves everyone in the building feeling tired and less at ease.
A Guide to the Different CO2 Levels
The best air quality levels for health, full comfort, and mental focus.
Acceptable levels; sensitive people may notice the air feels a little stuffy.
Higher CO2 levels can make people in the room feel drowsy and less able to concentrate.
High gas levels that may result in minor 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 care, using 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 our 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.
Huge amounts of greenhouse gases released when volcanoes erupt.
Gas released as glaciers and icebergs melt into the surrounding water.
Natural gas and petroleum deposits trapped within the Earth's crust.
