Glossary

Aerosol:

A suspension of particulate matter composed of solid and/or liquid material in a gas.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2):

CO2 is a part of the atmosphere (>405 ppm), and indoor concentrations in excess of ambient are mainly generated by people, about a kilogram per day depending on metabolism. The indoor exposure limit is commonly taken as 1000 ppm, a level at which the negative health effects of CO2 are not yet significant. CO2 is a useful proxy for general indoor air quality including bioeffluents. Continued exposure to CO2 levels over 2500 ppm have been linked to drowsiness and tiredness. Studies have shown impacts on decision making and focus from around 1300 ppm [1].

Carbon Monoxide (CO):

CO is a product of incomplete combustion. Indoor sources include heaters and stoves, tobacco smoke, and candles. CO is toxic to humans. Ambient air contains about 1 ppm of carbon monoxide. In busy streets, the atmospheric mole fraction can be in the range of 10–20 ppm. Indoor levels generally...
