In a closed room such as a meeting room with several people or a small bedroom at night CO2 can easily go past 1000 ppm 13 5 Consequences CQO2 is not dangerous when kept within such values Nevertheless when it rises over 1000 ppm it is an indication that indoor air has not been renewed for a long time If this happens ventilating the room is a simple and effective action Over 2000 ppm CO2 can also cause sleepiness and slight headaches 13 6 CO2 Alerts When the CO2 level rises above 1000 ppm a notification is sent to your smartphone and the indoor module briefly lights up yellow When the CO2 level goes above 2000 ppm a second alert is sent to your smartphone and the indoor module briefly lights up red 13 7 How does the Netatmo station measure the CO2 concentra tion The sensor measures CO2 using an optical process the Station is embedded with a light bulb and an infrared receiver Light is emitted from the bulb and partially absorbed by the CO2 contained in the ambient air The higher the CO2 level the more the light is absorbed The infrared receiver then measures the amount of light received and from there it deducts the CO2 level This method works regardless of the ambient light 13 8 Calibration To ensure the accuracy of your CO2 measurements the Netatmo Weather Station auto matically and regularly recalibrates its CO2 sensor This calibration is performed assuming that the CO2 level surrounding the station low
