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 metabolism of biologically active substances. During physical and mental exertion, carbon dioxide helps to maintain the balance of the body. But a significant increase in this chemical compound in the surrounding atmosphere worsens a person's well-being. The harm and benefits of carbon dioxide for the existence of life on Earth are not yet fully understood.

Characteristics of carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide, carbonic anhydride, carbon dioxide is a gaseous chemical compound that has no color or odor. The substance is 1.5 times heavier than air, and its concentration in the Earth's atmosphere is approximately 0.04%. A distinctive feature of carbon dioxide is the absence of a liquid form with increasing pressure - the compound immediately goes into a solid state, known as "dry ice". But when certain artificial conditions are created, 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 block the ultraviolet rays that enter the atmosphere from the Sun. But the infrared radiation of the earth is absorbed by carbon anhydride. This is becoming the cause of global warming since the formation of a huge number of industrial production.

During the day, the human body absorbs and metabolizes about 1 kg of carbon dioxide. It takes an active part in the metabolism, which 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 the 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 a person. An increase in the pressure of a chemical compound provokes fine nerve endings to send impulses to receptors in the brain and / or spinal cord. This is how the processes of inhalation and exhalation occur. If the level of carbon dioxide in the blood begins to rise, then the lungs accelerate its release from the body.

Interesting fact

Scientists have shown 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 increases 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 can hardly be overestimated. The main functional features of the substance include the following:

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

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

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

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

Where is carbon dioxide used?

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

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

Interesting fact

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

The harm of carbonic anhydride

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

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

Gastroenterologists prohibit drinking lemonades and mineral water for patients with the following pathologies:

• acute, chronic, catarrhal gastritis;
• ulcers of the stomach and duodenum;
• duodenitis;
• decreased intestinal peristalsis;
• 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 some form of gastritis. The main symptoms of stomach disease: sour belching, heartburn, bloating and pain in the epigastric region.

If a person is unable to give up drinking carbon dioxide drinks, then he should opt for slightly carbonated mineral water.

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

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

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

Benefits of carbon dioxide

The health-improving effect of carbon dioxide on the human body is widely used in medicine in the treatment of various diseases. So, in recent years, dry carbon dioxide baths have been 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.

Cosmetic salons and medical institutions offer customers unusual medical procedures:

• pneumopuncture;
• carboxytherapy.

Complicated terms hide gas injections or carbon dioxide injections. Such procedures can be attributed to both types of mesotherapy and rehabilitation methods after severe illnesses.

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

The beneficial properties of carbon dioxide are used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and 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 emergence of a huge number of currents and regulators of breathing: from the "control" of acid-base balance, eastern respiratory systems, a lot of plastic devices in which people breathe and seek their happiness in them. Unfortunately, most of these movements are charlatan, although they contain rational seeds. This article is the beginning of a cycle on carbon dioxide.

We are accustomed to the fact that the carbon dioxide we breathe out is a substance unnecessary for the human and animal organism, which acts negatively and only harms the body. In fact, this is not the case. Carbon dioxide is a powerful regulator. But its excess, and its lack, harm 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 carbon dioxide problem conditions in relatively healthy people. Let me remind you that we will not talk about diseases!

1. Increase in 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 when breathing is too fast (hyperventilation). This leads to the development of gas (respiratory) alkalosis - this is a violation of the regulation of acid-base balance. It arises due to hyperventilation of the lungs, leading to excessive removal of CO 2 from the body and a drop in the partial voltage 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 "kick-off" response to stress, focused on physical action.

So, in the primitive population, a person in direct confrontation with nature was exposed to powerful physical and biological effects 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, in an evolutionary way, hyperventilation was developed and fixed, the main mechanisms of which are aimed at ensuring strong muscle tension!

Indeed, hypocapnia redistributes blood flow, directing blood to the muscles by reducing blood flow in the heart, brain, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys. Alkalosis and sympatadrenergy (an increase in the level of adrenaline!) 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 more perfect.

Situational stress hyperventilation in a healthy person stops when the stress ends.

But with prolonged psychoemotional stress in a number of people, a violation of the regulation of breathing occurs, and the hyperventilating pattern of breathing can gain a foothold, initiating the phenomenon of chronic neurogenic hyperventilation. Excessive breathing in such cases becomes a stable feature of the patient, fixing hyperventilating disorders of homeostasis - hypocapnia and alkalosis, which are capable of being realized with a regular sequence into somatic diseases. We will talk about this later.

In the meantime, for the seed, 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 (vasodilator). Accordingly, if the level of carbon dioxide in the tissue or blood rises (for example, due to intense metabolism - caused, say, by physical activity, 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 accordingly, 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 of 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 value of cardiac output and, as a consequence, shock and minute blood volume. It also contributes to the correction of tissue hypoxia and hypercapnia (increased 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 receives and gives oxygen depending on the oxygen and carbon dioxide content 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. Maintains acid-base balance.Bicarbonate ions are very important for regulating blood pH and maintaining normal acid-base balance. Respiration rate affects the carbon dioxide content in the blood. Poor 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 body requires oxygen to ensure metabolism, low oxygen levels in the blood or tissues usually do not stimulate respiration (or rather, the stimulating effect of lack of oxygen on respiration is too weak and "turns on" late, with very low oxygen levels in the blood, at which a person often is already losing consciousness). Breathing is normally stimulated by an increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. The respiratory center is much more sensitive to increased levels of carbon dioxide than to lack of oxygen.

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

Meanwhile, it is great, 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 breathe in, our lungs are filled with oxygen, and carbon dioxide is formed in the lower part of the organ - the alveoli. At this moment, an exchange takes place: oxygen passes into the blood, and carbon dioxide is released from it. And we breathe out.

Breathing repetitive about 15-20 times per minute starts all the vital activity of the body,
and the resulting carbon dioxide affects many vital functions at once. Why is carbon dioxide useful for humans?

CO 2 regulates the excitability of nerve cells, affects the permeability of cell membranes and the activity of enzymes, stabilizes the intensity of hormone production and the degree of their effectiveness, participates
in the process of binding proteins 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. At the same time, the metabolic process is continuous, therefore, we need to remove end products constantly.

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

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. It occurs with deep rapid breathing, when the body emits too much carbon dioxide. For example, after intense exercise. Hypocapnia can lead to mild dizziness or loss of consciousness.

Hypercapnia - This 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.

This can cause headaches, nausea and drowsiness. Hypercapnia is especially common in office workers in winter, as well as in long queues. For example, at the post office or in the clinic.

An excess of carbon dioxide can also occur in extreme situations, for example, when 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 is kept within normal limits. And one of the types of breathing exercises will help to bring the content of CO 2 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 specific disease. Let's see how carbon dioxide helps
and breathing exercises in specific cases.

To begin with, in the process of exercising on a simulator or standard breathing practices, a person's 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, exerting different effects on different groups of organs. For example, improved blood supply and increased CO 2 levels lead to the normalization of smooth muscle tone in 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 membrane permeability, which normalizes the excitability of nerve cells. This makes it easier to endure stress, avoid nervous overexcitement and, as a result, relieves insomnia and migraines.

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

Defense systems are also activated in the fight against viral diseases. Regular breathing exercises help to avoid ARVI and ARI 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 vascular lumen, patients with hypotension are also recovering. 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. It is rather the help that you provide to your body by doing breathing exercises.

Believe me, after several months of exercise, 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" exercise machine 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 send materials 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 adjusts to it, changing the process of gas exchange. Today I will talk about two extremes associated with disturbances in the exchange of carbon dioxide: 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 breathe significant 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 of 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, worsening blood outflow and headache. Well, I'll tell you why people breathe into a bag, of course.

Hyperventilation or why breathe into the bag.

During times of panic or tantrum, people often have rapid breathing (hyperventilation). At the same time, there is too much oxygen and too little carbon dioxide in the blood, 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 the bag or holding your breath helps against hiccups. If you hold your breath for a while, the CO2 level will rise. Breathing into a paper bag will breathe in more CO2 and this will help normalize the pH so you can breathe normally again. True, this is not the most effective solution to the problem - doctors recommend in such cases to use special breathing techniques of slow, even breathing.

Breathing into a paper bag has long been the first aid for hyperventilation. The theory is that re-breathing 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 good if you have experienced hyperventilation before, have been examined by a doctor and are confident that you have nothing serious,” says Dr. Harrison. “Most people with hyperventilation have symptoms, but some may be more serious problems. " Using a paper bag helps some not only stop an attack, but also prevent it.

When some people get scared, they breathe quickly and deeply, even if they don't need additional oxygen. You just breathed normally, and suddenly your breathing quickens, your fingers tremble, 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 excessive loss of carbon dioxide causes an alkaline shift in the blood. This in turn triggers the symptoms of a "panic attack". A bout of hyperventilation can last for hours, but typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes. But for those with severe attacks, they may seem like they last for several hours. In addition, bouts of hyperventilation can recur and should be learned how to stop or prevent them.

The lack of carbon dioxide has an exciting effect on the brain, and a vicious circle turns out: from excitement, people begin to breathe more often, and from frequent breathing, excitement intensifies. (In addition, increased brain excitability can lead to seizures.)

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

In details:

The Verigo-Bohr effect or why we gasp for breath when we breathe.

This phenomenon was first discovered by Belarus Bronislav Verigo, who came from the gentry of the Polotsk province of the coat of arms of Sseniava. Born in Vitebsk province, graduating from the Vitebsk gymnasium in 1877, 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 pH and CO2 concentration have a very strong effect on the binding of oxygen by hemoglobin: when CO2 and H + ions are attached, 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 cells. A decrease in oxygen flow 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 the majority of gases in the atmosphere remains practically constant. The exceptions are water and carbon dioxide (CO 2), the percentage of which can vary greatly depending on the environment.

The main source of indoor carbon dioxide is humans. Wherever people are - classrooms and kindergartens, offices and meeting rooms, fitness centers and swimming pools - there is always the possibility of excess carbon dioxide due to human breathing.

Far from cities, in nature, cO 2 level in the 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 arise from excess carbon dioxide.

Studies of the effect of CO 2 on the well-being of people 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 is the cause of increased morbidity in people. First of all, the nasopharynx and respiratory tract suffers, 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 the cardiovascular system, etc.

Controlling carbon dioxide is necessary not only in schools, kindergartens and offices, but also in apartments, and especially in bedrooms. An increased carbon dioxide content in an apartment can lead to headaches and insomnia.

For the regulation of carbon dioxide in the air, the premises must be equipped with ventilation systems and regularly ventilated. 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 when the air is enriched with carbon dioxide, not only does the productivity of plants increase and their growth accelerates, but also their resistance to various diseases increases. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air that enters the greenhouses from the street is too low for plants, especially on sunny days, when the process of photosynthesis is more intense. Therefore, in greenhouses, people organize special fertilizing from carbon dioxide to improve plant growth and increase yields.

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

Not all cases are listed above when cO 2 level measurement is necessary. This led to the appearance 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).

Most fixed indoor air monitoring systems are 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 electric current and the result is displayed on the screen. The radiation source is located inside the device itself. This is usually an LED or solid state laser.

Often cO 2 gas analyzers equipped with an audible alarm that notifies of changes 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 it easy to use them in various areas of human activity - at work and at home, in classrooms and gyms, in greenhouses or mushroom farms, at gas stations, in industry and in manufacturing. They are easy to use and provide you with constant carbon dioxide control where you need it.
