I bought a CO2 monitor for our home and I’m getting results from around 600ppm to 1000ppm

But just for kicks I put it on top of our air purifiers where the clean air comes out and it doubles to around 1800ppm.
I don’t think our air purifiers clean the CO2 out so I wasn’t necessarily expecting less but why should it double? Quick google steady didn’t reveal anything so I thought I’d appeal to the TD junta.

does the purifier essentially burn the particulates away? That would be my assumption.
600-1000ppm is decent, though. My house is apparently very tight and will hit 1500+ during the summer.

Not sure but I think they are just filters.

I was pleasantly surprised.

What kind of purifier do you have? Some dont use filters at all and use some type of ionizing surface to "pull" contaminants out of the air and then neutralize their charge. After that those contaminates either fall out of the air or they float away being harmless after deionization.
Beeswax candles can purify air in this way, too.

also, I'm not sure how active carbon works in pleated filters. There may be some type of interaction with carbon in filters where there is an exchange and the carbon ends up producing CO2 molecules as a byproduct. I'd look into that too if you start researching it.

Seems odd but you could just turn lemons into lemonade and grow weed by the purifiers.

If the air purifiers are the kind that do ozone, then that ozone is oxidizing things and thus the slightly higher CO2. Not near a problem though.

I think you mean CO and not CO2….CO2 is what you exhale when you breathe
Posted on 7/24/24 at 12:22 pm to Robin Masters
If the purifiers uses UV light that would oxidize any carbon into CO2

As someone else said, you do mean CO not CO2 correct?

CO (Carbon monixide) can be cross sensitive to Ozone (O3) which if your air purifier has an ionization feature it will produce ozone.
Thus the reason you CO monitor is showing higher level of CO exiting the air purifier.

I don’t think he’d be having this conversation if he had ~1,000 PPM of CO in his house.

Good point
Posted on 7/26/24 at 9:06 am to Theduckhunter
I wasnt sure the ppm so only 10-20 ppm of CO is dangerous it looks like?
What’s the point of monitoring CO2? Inside a home?

I think 50 PPM is the permissible exposure limit of CO.
I had never heard of monitoring CO2 in a home until now.
