Two points:
First, as noted by many below (above), IKEA really needs to put a CO2 monitor in this thing, to tell room occupants the most useful information.
Second, one person being confidently wrong can use up a lot of other people's time. Maybe there's some way that forum design could reduce this problem. Maybe there isn't.
- idiotsecant 4y agoIs CO2 level useful, though? Our bodies are really exceptionally good at detecting harmful CO2 levels. There's very little effect to CO2 buildup in air up to levels that people are good at detecting. VOCs, PM2.5, and other contaminant classes are not so easily detected by human hardware, though.
- valenterry 4y agoThere's something between "perfectly fine" and "harmful" though. bad co2 levels can impact concentration without being harmful.

Is this like an HN subtweet or am I just daft? I have absolutely no idea which comment you're referring to here.

- turtlebits 4y agoWhile I agree that CO2 sensors are useful, they'll significantly add to the price. High CO2 levels in a home aren't a health risk unlike PM2.5 or VOCs though.
