Why is a carbon dioxide monitor a good investment?
The easiest way to check if your house is encapsulating gases is to monitor the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. This one gas is used as a marker for air quality, is the easiest to monitor, and provides a more accurate air quality reading. It is a good trend indicator because it changes in measurable amounts as the air quality gets worse. All other gasses in the house follow the same trend as the ...

CO2 -monitoring in German industry: Target achievement in 1997
Abstract German Industry and Trade entered into a voluntary commitment, to make special efforts to reduce its specific CO2 emissions and its specific energy consumption by 20% by the year 2005 (base 1990). To verify the obligations taken on, it was agreed that there should be accompanying CO2 monitoring where the reduction results would be presented at annual intervals and verified for ...

Responses of microbial community from northern Gulf of Mexico sandy sediments following exposure to deepwater horizon crude oil
In the present study, microbial community responses to exposure to unweathered Macondo Well crude oil and conventional diesel in a sandy beach environment were determined. Biodegradation was assessed in mesocosm experiments with differing fuel amounts (2,000 and 4,000 mg/kg) and with or without inorganic nutrient amendment. Carbon dioxide production was measured daily for 42 d. Aerobic alkane, ...

CO2 monitoring for Sustainagro - Case Study
Challenges the customer faced According to former development manager for Sustainagro, Adrian Parker, before the lab had the G100 and could measure in real-time it used a titration method: "It took ages, several hours, just to do one." How the product helped The G100 has made the process much quicker; the lab can have several different flasks and compost samples running. They have to be left ...

Monitoring CO2 emissions from new passenger cars in the EU: summary of data for 2012
For the third successive year, the European Environment Agency (EEA) has collected EU Member States' data on passenger car registrations, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 443/2009. All Member States reported information on Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and the mass of cars, together with other vehicle characteristics. This data was used to evaluate the performance in 2012 of the new vehicle ...

Measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) along ocean surfaces case study
Customer: Confidential Application: A research team needed to study the levels and variations of one of the major greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) along the ocean surfaces. The research team required CO2 analysers to be installed in commercial ocean liners to monitor the “dry” level of CO2 on ocean surfaces as well as the ability to calibrate automatically and accurately ...

Carbon Dioxide Monitoring: IAQ Indicator or Just Another
Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has been and continues to be widely used as a surrogate indicator of indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings, and the use of CO2 measurements as a diagnostic tool in evaluating the performance and condition of HVAC systems is expanding. It had been suggested by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) that comfort ...

Monitoring CO2 emissions from passenger cars and vans in 2013
The European Environment Agency (EEA) supports the European Commission in the monitoring of the CO2 performance of passenger cars, in accordance with Regulation (EC) 443/2009, and of light commercial vehicles in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 510/2011. The regulation for passenger cars sets a CO2 'specific emission' (1) target of 130 g CO2/km by 2015 whilst the regulation for light commercial ...

The beverage industry`s incorrect way of monitoring for CO2 leaks
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the primary compressed gas used for beverages at major fast food chains. This gas is also used in restaurants, gas stations, and grocery stores. When CO2 leaks into a confined space or basement, this creates a very unsafe workplace for employees by lowering the breathable oxygen. History seems to repeat itself all too often while dealing with CO2. Due to the CO2 leaks ...

Carbon dioxide emissions, impact on Malaysia's manufacturing productivity growth
The methods used to measure productivity growth generally ignore the pollutants that are produced by the industrial processes. For example, pollutant emissions generated as undesirable output, apart from the main output of Malaysia's manufacturing sector, are excluded from the productivity accounting framework. This study aims at an extended productivity measure that takes pollutants into account ...

Mushroom yield optimisation using carbon dioxide Measurement
Compost “quality” depends on many characteristics including dry matter content, moisture content, colour and structure. Compost of good quality can be expected to have a potential for a high yield of mushrooms and, conversely, one of poor quality for a low yield. Even though mushroom growers can often recognise differences in compost quality, prediction of the subsequent yield of mushrooms is ...

Case Study: Singapore Airlines
Ellis was contacted after a client had several complaints from employees related to air quality. Ellis conducted exposure monitoring for CO2 and CO, and also took measurements of temperature and relative humidity. Results of the study showed CO2 and CO to be well under the PEL (Permissible Exposure Level) for those two gases. However, elevated temperatures occurring later in the day appears to ...

Top five reasons why monitoring the CO2 concentration is a great idea
CO2 has been a very hot topic for a few years now mainly due to its relation to climate change and also government policy. Leaving this aside, controlling and monitoring indoor levels of carbon dioxide inside building is important for everyone to consider for safety, health and even energy efficiency. Here are 5 reasons why you should by all means measure the CO2 levels in your space. 1: CO2 can ...

Key Differences between Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide
Most people have a passing understanding of chemistry at best, which is why there is some confusion for the average person when it comes to distinguishing carbon monoxide from carbon dioxide. While the two substances share a common bond through carbon, they have divergent chemical properties and physical characteristics that differentiate them. They also pose different threats to human health, ...
