CO2 levels rise to unhealthy levels (700ppm) within a few hours of a typical bedroom if you keep the doors and windows closed. Its also why Submarines have CO2 scrubbers.
- bukka 8y agoDo you have any source for this? A bedroom isn't sealed shut like a submarine would be?
- Steel_Phoenix 8y agoI have a CO2 monitor, and I can confirm that it goes up at least that fast in my home. I can't speak for submarines or healthy levels. I've been wondering for a while why environmental rhetoric only talks about the global rise in CO2 in terms that make people think it's just an atmospheric phenomenon rather than notably changing what they're breathing. It looks like we've nearly doubled the CO2 we're breathing in the past couple centuries, not including our more sealed up lifestyle.
- hueving 8y ago>only talks about the global rise in CO2 in terms that make people think Because the levels in the global rise are negligible in comparison to what is dangerous for breathing. Here's a hint, if you think you've spotted something blindingly obvious in a field scrutinized by hundreds of thousands of scientists, you're probably making a mistake.
- idonotknowwhy 8y agoReminds me of all the bugs in the java compiler I used to find when I first started learning the language and writing Hello World apps.
- Steel_Phoenix 8y agoThanks for the hint. The thought that the health effects of a waste product from the most profitable of industries may have gone under-reported is indeed preposterous. Here's a study showing reduced cognitive performance at various CO2 levels in the ranges we're talking about. https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/1104789/ https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/1104789/
