Portable Carbon Monoxide Meter with Alarm

Carbon monoxide (CO) is created by the combustion of carbon. Depending on how efficient the combustion is (oxygen supply) and the temperature of the combustion more or less CO gas is created. The gas is inflammable and highly toxic. It is invisible, tasteless and has no smell.

Even the smallest concentrations are dangerous for humans.

30ppm - Maximum allowed in the workplace for 8 hour work day

70 - 100ppm - Flue like symptoms appear.

150 - 300ppm - Medium exposure: Dizziness, fatigue, nausea.

400ppm - Extreme exposure: headache

800ppm - Extreme exposure: headache, dizziness, nausea and limb twitching after 45min, unconsciousness within 2h.

1600ppm - Extreme exposure: headache, dizziness, nausea within 45min, death after 2 hours

Applications:

• Control of the air quality (e.g. at work place)

• Checking of heating systems, gas central-heating, fireplace

• Control of the air at maintenance work (tunnel, flue gas tract, ...)
