What do you use these for? for indoor home use I cannot see the point. We have plenty of biochemical sensors in our body telling you when it's time to ventilate

  Higher levels of CO2 impair cognitive function [1]. In fact there's no floor - even small increases in CO2 have small but measurable effects.

    Sure, point is we as humans are already equiped with efficient ways to detect it. Only home use I can imagine is to drive some ventilation automation.

  What sensor in my body detects CO2? Unless you mean headache-inducing levels of CO2 which, per my actual sensor, is upwards of 3000 because at that level I still didn't notice anything. The air feels warmer, but that's attributable to me breathing in a small and enclosed space Genuinely curious if there's something in our bodies that has been shown to serve as CO2 detector, or if you just mean "I can smell stale air and why don't you just do the same" (which I'm pretty certain relies on proxy factors like dust, mould smells like in a moist cellar, temperature, a combination, and/or perhaps other stuff that didn't come to mind)
