The normal functioning of all vital systems depends on the amount of carbon dioxide in the human bloodstream. Carbon dioxide increases the body's resistance to bacterial and viral infections, participates in the exchange of biologically active substances. During physical and intellectual stress, carbon dioxide helps to maintain the balance of the body. But a significant increase in this chemical compound in the environment worsens the well-being of a person. The harm and benefits of carbon dioxide for the existence of life on Earth have not yet been fully studied.

Characteristic features of carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide, carbonic anhydride, carbon dioxide is a gaseous chemical compound that is colorless and odorless. The substance is 1.5 times heavier than air, and its concentration in the Earth's atmosphere is approximately 0.04%. Distinctive feature carbon dioxide is the absence of a liquid form when the pressure is increased - the compound immediately turns into a solid state, known as "dry ice". But when creating certain artificial conditions carbon dioxide takes the form of a liquid, which is widely used for its transportation and long-term storage.

Interesting fact

Carbon dioxide does not become a barrier to ultraviolet rays that enter the atmosphere from the sun. But the infrared radiation of the Earth is absorbed by carbon anhydride. This becomes the reason global warming since the formation of a huge number of industrial productions.

During the day, the human body absorbs and metabolizes about 1 kg of carbon dioxide. She takes an active part in the metabolism that occurs in soft, bone, articular tissues, and then enters the venous bed. With the flow of blood, carbon dioxide enters the lungs and leaves the body with each exhalation.

The chemical is found in the human body primarily in the venous system. The capillary network of lung structures and arterial blood contain a small concentration of carbon dioxide. In medicine, the term "partial pressure" is used, which characterizes the concentration ratio of a compound in relation to the entire volume of blood.

Therapeutic properties of carbon dioxide

The penetration of carbon dioxide into the body causes a respiratory reflex in humans. An increase in the pressure of a chemical compound provokes thin nerve endings to send impulses to receptors in the brain and (and) spinal cord. This is how the process of inhalation and exhalation occurs. If the level of carbon dioxide in the blood begins to rise, then the lungs accelerate its removal from the body.

Interesting fact

Scientists have proven that the significant life expectancy of people living in the highlands is directly related to the high content of carbon dioxide in the air. It improves immunity, normalizes metabolic processes, strengthens the cardiovascular system.

In the human body, carbon dioxide is one of the most important regulators, acting as the main product along with molecular oxygen. The role of carbon dioxide in the process of human life is difficult to overestimate. The main functional features of the substance include the following:

• has the ability to cause persistent expansion of large vessels and capillaries;
• can have a sedative effect on the central nervous system, provoking an anesthetic effect;
• takes part in the production of essential amino acids;
• excites the respiratory center with an increase in concentration in the bloodstream.

If there is an acute shortage of carbon dioxide in the body, then all systems are mobilized and increase their functional activity. All processes in the body are aimed at replenishing carbon dioxide reserves in the tissues and bloodstream:

• the vessels narrow, bronchospasm develops in the smooth muscles of the upper and lower respiratory tract, as well as blood vessels;
• bronchi, bronchioles, structural sections of the lungs secrete an increased amount of mucus;
• the permeability of large and small blood vessels, capillaries decreases;
• cholesterol begins to be deposited on cell membranes, which causes their thickening and tissue sclerosis.

The combination of all these pathological factors, combined with a low supply of molecular oxygen, leads to tissue hypoxia and a decrease in the rate of blood flow in the veins. Oxygen starvation is especially acute in brain cells, they begin to break down. The regulation of all vital systems is disrupted: the brain and lungs swell, the heart rate decreases. In the absence of medical intervention, a person may die.

Where is carbon dioxide used?

Carbon dioxide is found not only in the human body and in the surrounding atmosphere. Many industrial productions actively use the chemical at various stages technological processes. It is used as:

• stabilizer;
• catalyst;
• primary or secondary raw materials.

Interesting fact

Oxygen dioxide contributes to the transformation into a delicious tart house wine. Fermentation of the sugar contained in the berries releases carbon dioxide. It gives the drink sparkling, allows you to feel the bursting bubbles in your mouth.
On food packaging, carbon dioxide is hidden under the code E290. As a rule, it is used as a preservative for long-term storage. When baking delicious cupcakes or pies, many housewives add baking powder to the dough. During the cooking process, air bubbles are formed, making the muffin fluffy, soft. This is carbon dioxide chemical reaction between sodium bicarbonate and food acid. Aquarium fish lovers use the colorless gas as an aquatic plant growth activator, and manufacturers of automatic carbon dioxide systems put it in fire extinguishers.

Harm of carbonic anhydride

Children and adults are very fond of a variety of fizzy drinks for the air bubbles they contain. These pockets of air are pure carbon dioxide released when the bottle cap is unscrewed. Used in this capacity, it does not bring any benefit to the human body. Getting into the gastrointestinal tract, carbonic anhydride irritates the mucous membranes, provokes damage to epithelial cells.

For a person with diseases of the stomach, it is highly undesirable to use it, since under their influence it increases inflammatory process and ulceration of the inner wall of the organs of the digestive system.

Gastroenterologists forbid drinking lemonade and mineral water patients with the following pathologies:

• acute, chronic, catarrhal gastritis;
• stomach and duodenal ulcer;
• duodenitis;
• decreased intestinal motility;
• benign and malignant neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract.

It should be noted that according to WHO statistics, more than half of the inhabitants of the planet Earth suffer from one form or another of gastritis. The main symptoms of stomach disease are sour belching, heartburn, bloating and pain in the epigastric region.

If a person is unable to refuse the use of drinks with carbon dioxide, then he should opt for slightly carbonated mineral water.

Experts advise to exclude lemonade from the daily diet. After statistical studies in people who drank for a long time sweet water with carbon dioxide, the following diseases were identified:

• caries;
• endocrine disorders;
• increased fragility of bone tissue;
• fatty degeneration of the liver;
• the formation of stones in the bladder and kidneys;
• disorders of carbohydrate metabolism.

Employees office space, not equipped with air conditioners, often experience excruciating headaches, nausea, weakness. This condition in humans occurs when there is an excessive accumulation of carbon dioxide in the room. Constant presence in such an environment leads to acidosis (increased acidity of the blood), provokes a decrease in the functional activity of all vital systems.

Benefits of carbon dioxide

The healing effect of carbon dioxide on the human body is widely used in medicine in the treatment of various diseases. Yes, in Lately dry carbonic baths are very popular. The procedure consists in the effect of carbon dioxide on the human body in the absence of extraneous factors: water pressure and ambient temperature.

beauty salons and medical institutions offer clients unusual medical manipulations:

• pneumopuncture;
• carboxytherapy.

Under complex terms, gas injections or carbon dioxide injections are hidden. Such procedures can be attributed both to varieties of mesotherapy and to methods of rehabilitation after serious illnesses.

Before carrying out these procedures, you should visit your doctor for a consultation and a thorough diagnosis. Like all therapies, carbon dioxide injections have contraindications for use.

Useful properties of carbon dioxide are used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension. And dry baths reduce the content of free radicals in the body, have a rejuvenating effect. Carbon dioxide increases a person's resistance to viral and bacterial infections, strengthens the immune system, and increases vitality.

Interest in breathing has led to the fact that a huge number of currents and regulators of breathing have appeared: from the "management" of acid-base balance, oriental breathing systems, many plastic devices that people breathe into and look for their happiness in them. Unfortunately, most of these movements are charlatans, although they contain rational grains. This article is the beginning of a cycle about carbon dioxide.

We are accustomed to the fact that the carbon dioxide we exhale is a substance that is unnecessary for the human and animal organism, which acts negatively and only harms the body. Actually it is not. Carbon dioxide is a powerful regulator. But its excess and its deficiency are harmful to our health. Unfortunately, this is almost never noticed, which leads to the development of diseases and pathological conditions. Meanwhile, the reasons lie on the surface!

There are two main problems with carbon dioxide in relatively healthy people. Let me remind you that we will not talk about diseases!

1. Increasing the level of carbonic acid in the blood.

2. Decrease in the level of carbonic acid in the blood.

This condition is called hypocapnia and most often occurs with excessively rapid breathing (hyperventilation). This leads to the development of gas (respiratory) alkalosis - this is a violation of the regulation of acid-base balance. It occurs as a result of hyperventilation of the lungs, leading to excessive removal of CO 2 from the body and a drop in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood below 35 mm Hg. Art., that is, to hypocapnia.

I want to point out that hyperventilation is part of the stress response. Remember how often the athlete breathes before the start! And it will really help his muscles! Hyperventilation is initially adaptive in nature, representing an evolutionarily developed "starting" reaction in response to stress, focused on physical action.

So, in the primitive population, a person in direct confrontation with nature was subjected to powerful physical and biological influences and was not protected by anything other than the natural forces of the body, ensuring readiness for physical exertion of varying intensity (defense, aggression, running from danger). For this purpose, hyperventilation was developed and fixed by evolution, the main mechanisms of which are aimed at providing strong muscle tension!

Indeed, hypocapnia redistributes blood flow, rushing blood to the muscles by reducing blood flow in the heart, brain, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys. Alkalosis and sympatadrenergia (increased adrenaline levels!) lead to an increase in intracellular ionized Ca ++ - the main natural activator of the contractile properties of muscle cells. Thus, hyperventilation makes the motor response to stress faster, more intense and perfect.

Situational stress-induced hyperventilation in a healthy individual stops with the end of stress.

But with prolonged psycho-emotional stress, a number of people experience a violation of the regulation of breathing, and the hyperventilation pattern of breathing can become fixed, initiating the phenomenon of chronic neurogenic hyperventilation. Excessive breathing in such cases becomes a stable feature of the patient, fixing hyperventilation disorders of homeostasis - hypocapnia and alkalosis, which can, with a regular sequence, be realized in somatic diseases. We'll talk about this later.

In the meantime, for starters, the role of carbon dioxide in the body:

1. Carbon dioxide is one of the most important mediators of blood flow regulation. It is a powerful vasodilator (blood vessel dilator). Accordingly, if the level of carbon dioxide in the tissue or in the blood rises (for example, due to an intensive metabolism - caused, say, by exercise, inflammation, tissue damage, or due to obstruction of blood flow, tissue ischemia), then the capillaries expand, which leads to an increase in blood flow and respectively, to an increase in the delivery of oxygen to the tissues and the transport of accumulated carbon dioxide from the tissues. With a decrease in CO2 by 1 mm Hg. in the blood, there is a decrease in cerebral blood flow by 3-4%, and in the heart by 0.6-2.4%. With a decrease in CO2 to 20 mm Hg. in the blood (half the official norm), the blood supply to the brain is reduced by 40% compared to normal conditions.

2. Strengthens muscle contraction (heart and muscles). Carbon dioxide in certain concentrations (increased, but not yet reaching toxic values) has a positive inotropic and chronotropic effect on the myocardium and increases its sensitivity to adrenaline, which leads to an increase in the strength and frequency of heart contractions, the magnitude of cardiac output and, as a result, shock and minute volume of blood. It also contributes to the correction of tissue hypoxia and hypercapnia (elevated levels of carbon dioxide).

3. Affects oxygen. The supply of oxygen to the tissues depends on the content of carbon dioxide in the blood (the Verigo-Bohr effect). Hemoglobin accepts and releases oxygen depending on the content of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood plasma. With a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveolar air and blood, the affinity of oxygen for hemoglobin increases, which makes it difficult for oxygen to pass from the capillaries to the tissues.

4. Supports acid-base balance. Bicarbonate ions are very important for regulating blood pH and maintaining normal acid-base balance. The respiratory rate affects the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. Weak or slow breathing causes respiratory acidosis, while rapid and excessively deep breathing leads to hyperventilation and the development of respiratory alkalosis.

5. Participates in the regulation of respiration. Although our bodies require oxygen for metabolism, low oxygen levels in the blood or tissues usually do not stimulate respiration (or rather, the stimulatory effect of oxygen deficiency on respiration is too weak and “turns on” late, at very low blood oxygen levels, in which a person often is already losing consciousness). Normally, respiration is stimulated by an increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. The respiratory center is much more sensitive to an increase in carbon dioxide than to a lack of oxygen.

Most people think carbon dioxide is bad. This is not surprising, because we were told about the negative properties of CO 2 at school in the lessons of biology and chemistry. Representing carbon dioxide solely as harmful substance, teachers usually kept silent about its positive role within our body.

Meanwhile, it is large, because carbon dioxide, or carbon dioxide, is an important participant in the breathing process. How does carbon dioxide affect our body and how is it useful?

carbon dioxide in the human body

When we inhale, our lungs are filled with oxygen, while in the lower part of the organ - the alveoli - carbon dioxide is formed. At this point, an exchange occurs: oxygen passes into the blood, and carbon dioxide is released from it. And we breathe out.

Breathing, repeated about 15-20 times per minute, starts the entire vital activity of the body,
and the resulting carbon dioxide immediately affects many vital functions. What is the use of carbon dioxide for humans?

CO 2 regulates the excitability of nerve cells, affects the permeability of cell membranes and enzyme activity, stabilizes the intensity of hormone production and the degree of their effectiveness, participates
in the process of protein binding of calcium and iron ions.

In addition, carbon dioxide is the end product of metabolism. Exhaling, we remove unnecessary components that have arisen during metabolism and cleanse our body. The metabolic process is continuous, so we need to constantly remove the end products.

It is important not only the presence, but also the amount of CO 2 in the body. Normal level content - 6-6.5%. This is enough to ensure that all the "mechanisms" in the body work correctly, and you feel good.

The lack or excess of carbon dioxide in the body leads to two conditions: hypocapnia
and hypercapnia.

Hypocapnia is a lack of carbon dioxide in the blood. Occurs with deep, rapid breathing when the body releases too much carbon dioxide. For example, after intensive sports. Hypocapnia can lead to mild dizziness or loss of consciousness.

Hypercapnia is an excess of carbon dioxide in the blood. Occurs in rooms with poor ventilation. If the concentration of CO 2 in the room exceeds the norm, then its level in the body will also become higher.

Because of this, a headache, nausea and drowsiness may appear. Especially often hypercapnia occurs in winter in office workers, as well as in long queues. For example, at the post office or in the clinic.

An excess of carbon dioxide can occur in extreme situations such as holding your breath underwater.

We will tell you more about the consequences of hypercapnia and how to deal with it in one of the following articles. Today we will focus on hypocapnia and its treatment.

As mentioned above, carbon dioxide affects many processes in our body, which is why it is so important that its level be kept within normal limits. And one of the types of breathing exercises will help bring the CO 2 content back to normal.

But such phrases do not look very convincing, especially when we want to solve a specific problem or get rid of a certain disease. Let's see how carbon dioxide helps
and breathing exercises in specific cases.

Let's start with the fact that in the process of exercising on the simulator or standard breathing practices, human blood is saturated with carbon dioxide, the blood supply to all organs improves, as a result of which a positive effect appears.

The body begins to heal itself from the inside, having a different effect on different groups organs. For example, improved blood supply and an increase in CO 2 levels lead to normalization of the tone of the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines. This has a positive effect on the work of the intestines, restores its basic functions and helps in the fight against various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Carbon dioxide has a positive effect on the permeability of membranes, which normalizes the excitability of nerve cells. This makes it easier to endure stress, avoid nervous overexcitation and, as a result, relieves insomnia and migraines.

Helps CO 2 and allergies: carbon dioxide reduces the viscosity of the cytoplasm that fills the cells. This has a positive effect on metabolism and increases the activity of the body's defense systems.

Protective systems are also activated in the fight against viral diseases. Regular breathing exercises help to avoid ARVI and acute respiratory infections by increasing local immunity.

Carbon dioxide helps with bronchitis and asthma: it reduces vasospasm, which allows you to get rid of phlegm and mucus in the bronchi, and, accordingly, the disease itself.

Due to the normalization of the lumen of the vessels, patients with hypotension are also on the mend. Breathing exercises help them gradually cope with low blood pressure.

Despite all the positive changes that occur in our body when the level of carbon dioxide is normalized, it is not a panacea for all diseases. This rather help that you provide to your body by doing breathing exercises.

Believe me, after several months of training, the body will surely thank you with good health. Before starting classes, be sure to check the level of CO 2 in the body and make sure that breathing exercises or the Samozdrav simulator will help with your illness.

And in order not to miss the material on hypercapnia and receive our new articles by mail, on our blog. We will be posting content once a week.

The regulation of the breathing process is a very effective tool for tuning your body. But at the same time it is very difficult, since breathing is a predominantly automatic process. The air around us also affects our health and our body adapts to it by changing the process of gas exchange. Today I will talk about two extremes associated with disorders of carbon dioxide metabolism: a lack of carbon dioxide (hypocapnia), which usually occurs with rapid breathing, and an excess of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia), which occurs in rooms with insufficient ventilation (since people emit significant amounts of carbon dioxide during breathing). amount of carbon dioxide). It is important to understand that carbon dioxide is not just a metabolic product, but also a regulatory molecule. The level of carbon dioxide in the blood is associated with the regulation of acid-base metabolism, as well as with the regulation of vascular tone, primarily in the brain. Therefore, with rapid breathing (which causes hypocapnia), the vessels of the brain narrow and we can lose consciousness, and with hypercapnia (stuffy room) - the vessels dilate too much, which can lead to drowsiness, poor blood flow and headache. Well, I’ll tell you why people breathe into the bag, of course.

Hyperventilation or why breathe into a bag.

During a panic or tantrum, people often experience rapid breathing (hyperventilation). At the same time, there is too much oxygen in the blood and too little carbon dioxide, which leads to disruption of the brain - dizziness occurs, a person may faint. The easiest way out is to breathe into the bag, i.e. inhale your own exhalation, while the content of gases in the blood will remain normal. Also breathing into a bag or holding your breath helps against hiccups. If you hold your breath for a while, then the level of CO2 will increase. By breathing into a paper bag, you will breathe in more CO2, and this will help to normalize the pH, after which you can breathe normally again. True, this is not the effective solution problems - doctors recommend in such cases the use of special breathing techniques slow steady breathing.

Breathe into a paper bag for a long time was the first aid for hyperventilation. The theory is that rebreathing into the paper bag will allow the patient to replace the carbon dioxide they exhaled during the hyperventilation episode. "Breathing into a paper bag is fine if you've experienced hyperventilation before and have been seen by a doctor and are sure it's not serious," says Dr. Harrison. "Most people with hyperventilation have symptoms, but some may be more serious problems". The use of a paper bag helps some not only stop the attack, but also prevent it.

When frightened, some people breathe quickly and deeply, even if they don't need supplemental oxygen. Just now you were breathing normally, and suddenly your breathing quickens, your fingers tremble, your palms sweat. You have the feeling that you are about to die, but in any case, you will stay alive to pay taxes for the next year. In most cases, hyperventilation is caused by nervous strain. This causes them to exhale large amounts of carbon dioxide, and the excess loss of carbon dioxide causes an alkaline shift in the blood. This in turn causes the symptoms of a "panic attack". An attack of hyperventilation can last for hours, but typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes. But for those who suffer from severe attacks, they may seem to last for several hours. In addition, attacks of hyperventilation may recur, and one should learn how to stop or prevent them.

The lack of carbon dioxide excites the brain, and a vicious circle is obtained: from excitement, people begin to breathe more often, and from frequent breathing, excitement intensifies. (In addition, increased excitability of the brain can lead to convulsions.).

When the level of carbon dioxide in the blood is low, the blood becomes alkaline, which leads to constriction of blood vessels and poor blood flow. This can be very dangerous as it reduces the blood supply to the brain and other vital organs, leading to blurred consciousness, dizziness, blurred vision, muscle cramps, and causeless anxiety.

In details:

The Verigo-Bohr effect or why we suffocate with frequent breathing.

This phenomenon was first discovered by Belarusian Bronislav Verigo, who came from the gentry of the Polotsk province of the Ssheniawa coat of arms. Born in the Vitebsk province, having graduated from the Vitebsk gymnasium in 1877, he later worked in the laboratories of Sechenov, I. R. Tarkhanov and I. I. Mechnikov. There he first established the dependence of the degree of dissociation of oxyhemoglobin on the value of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood.

He found that the binding of oxygen by hemoglobin is very strongly influenced by pH and CO2 concentration: when CO2 and H+ ions are added, the ability of hemoglobin to bind O2 decreases. Indeed, in peripheral tissues with relatively low pH and high CO2 concentration, the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen decreases. Conversely, in the pulmonary capillaries, the release of CO2 and the accompanying increase in blood pH leads to an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. This effect of pH and CO2 concentration on the binding and release of O2 by hemoglobin is called the Verigo-Bohr effect.

Simply put, a decrease in CO2 in the blood increases the bond between oxygen and hemoglobin and makes it difficult for oxygen to enter the cells. A decrease in oxygen supply to tissues causes oxygen starvation of tissues - hypoxia.

The atmosphere around us contains many gases. The main percentage is nitrogen (78.08%). This is followed by oxygen (20.95%), argon (0.93%), water vapor (0.5-4%) and carbon dioxide (0.034%). The air also contains trace amounts of hydrogen, helium and other noble gases. The concentration of most of the gases in the atmosphere remains virtually constant. The exception is water and carbon dioxide (CO 2), the percentage of which can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions.

The main source of carbon dioxide in the room is a person. In any place where people are - school classrooms and kindergartens, offices and meeting rooms, fitness centers and swimming pools - there is always the possibility of exceeding the carbon dioxide standard due to people's breathing.

Far from cities, in nature, CO 2 level in air is about 0.035%. In this case, the person feels comfortable. But within the city, especially in crowded transport or enclosed spaces, carbon dioxide can significantly exceed the norm. Scientists have proven that in a percentage of 0.1-0.2% carbon dioxide becomes toxic to humans. Symptoms such as headache or weakness are caused by excess carbon dioxide.

Studies of the effect of CO 2 on people's well-being have shown that at high concentrations of this gas in the air, a significant decrease in attention is manifested and chronic fatigue occurs. Moreover, carbon dioxide causes increased morbidity in humans. First of all, the nasopharynx and respiratory tract suffer, the number of asthmatic attacks increases. With prolonged exposure to carbon dioxide on the human body, biochemical changes begin to occur in the blood, which leads to hypertension, weakening of cardio-vascular system etc.

It is necessary to control carbon dioxide not only in schools, kindergartens and offices, but also in apartments, and especially in bedrooms. The increased content of carbon dioxide in the apartment can lead to headaches and insomnia.

To regulate carbon dioxide in the air, the premises must be equipped with ventilation systems and ventilate regularly. If its concentration often exceeds the norm, air purifiers are additionally installed in the premises.

For plants, the situation is exactly the opposite. First of all, for them, carbon dioxide is a source of carbon for the process of photosynthesis. Numerous experiments have shown that the enrichment of air with carbon dioxide not only increases the productivity of plants and accelerates their growth, but also increases resistance to various diseases. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air that enters the greenhouse from the street is too low for plants, especially on sunny days, when the process of photosynthesis occurs with greater intensity. Therefore, in greenhouses, people organize special top dressings from carbon dioxide to improve plant growth and increase yields.

Mushrooms are very sensitive to carbon dioxide. For example, to obtain mushrooms with very small hats and long legs, they use an increase in carbon dioxide levels. Such unusual shape of these mushrooms simplifies the process of their collection. Mushroom refers to carbon dioxide at different stages of growth in different ways. In the vegetative growth phase, this fungus normally tolerates high concentrations of CO2. But during the period of fruit formation and fruiting, it is necessary to lower the level of carbon dioxide in the room through intensive ventilation and regular intake. fresh air. The high content of carbon dioxide during this period worsens the quality of fruiting bodies and negatively affects their growth.

The above are not all cases where measurement of CO 2 level is necessary. This led to the emergence of a device called. Depending on the field of application, gas analyzers have different forms(portable or stationary), functions (determination of the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, leak detection, etc.) and principles of operation (mass spectrometry, photoacoustic analysis and many others).

The principle of operation of most stationary carbon dioxide analyzers installed in rooms for air control is based on infrared (IR) optical analysis. This method has been widely used since the invention of miniature sensors. Carbon dioxide molecules tend to absorb radiation with a wavelength of 4.255 microns (which corresponds to the infrared range). The higher the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, the lower the amplitude of the transmitted infrared radiation. carbon dioxide sensor inside the gas analyzer converts the radiation intensity into electricity and the result is displayed on the screen. The source of radiation is located inside the device itself. This is usually an LED or a solid state laser.

Often CO 2 gas analyzers equipped with an audible alarm that notifies you of a change in the level of carbon dioxide in the air and allows you to take the necessary measures in time.

The versatility of carbon dioxide analyzers makes them easy to use in a variety of applications human activity– at work and at home, in classrooms and gyms, in greenhouses or mushroom farms, at gas stations, in industry and in production. They are easy to use and provide constant carbon control where you need it.
