CO2 in the air we breathe
Fresh air has a concentration of around 400 ppm of CO2 (measured in 2015 - highest value for approx. 15-20 million years). The concentration of the gas depends on:
CO2 occurrence in the earth's various layers
The visualization of CO2

The importance of air quality for humans
The CO2 concentration in indoor areas is deemed to be an essential indicator of suitable air quality.
Carbon dioxide is a gas that is poisonous for humans and, depending on the concentration in the air, affects their performance, their well-being and their ability to concentrate.
Even when there is a CO2 concentration as low as 1,000 ppm, most people feel the air is not good and the above-mentioned disorders occur.
