Risk assessment of virus in aerosols using the CO2 concentration measurement
The risk of infection by viruses such as corona or influenza can be reduced through regular ventilation. The CO2 concentration serves as a suitable indicator for the concentration of viruses in the air. Because in contrast to the virus concentration, the CO2 value can be measured very well. The room climate monitor RM 100 simultaneously measures the CO2 content as well as the air temperature and humidity. The University TU Berlin Germany recommend using a CO2 measuring device in any room in which several people from different households can stay, e.g. doctor's offices, hospitals, classrooms, offices, etc. in order to reduce the risk of infection.
