Cleaning Up CO2

Cleaning Up CO2 Global warming”s effects can be seen worldwide, but engineers have found a natural way to eliminate one of the worst contributors to the environment”s decay…CO2.

The CO2 regulation system usually consists of a CO2 regulator, CO2 cylinder and the CO2 diffuser.  Even basic human activities — breathing and digesting food — produce CO2. It’s a necessary compound in Earth’s life cycles. Actively growing trees and plants absorb CO2 and, with sunlight and water, convert it to food. Trouble looms when we emit more CO2 than our flora can absorb. 

At normal levels, its presence has no measurable adverse effects on you, but if your breathing is compromised or you are exposed to large amounts of this gas, you can experience a wide range of side effects, some of which include permanent injury and death. Cleaning Up CO2 as shown above Excess CO2 can affect you just like a physical obstruction to breathing. 

Carbon dioxide levels and potential health problems are indicated below: 250-350 ppm: background (normal) outdoor air level. 350-1,000 ppm: typical level found in occupied spaces with good air exchange. 1,000-2,000 ppm: level associated with complaints of drowsiness and poor air.
