  1. I left my #Aranet4 monitor on the table in a hotel conference room during a meeting today. A fairly large room, around 30 people, but at least twice that would have fit comfortably. The room was overly air conditioned in the morning, and I suspect someone asked the staff to adjust the thermostat for the afternoon session ... which apparently further reduced the ventilation.

    I was the only attendee masked.

  2. I've been carrying my aranet monitor around #OHBM2023, and unpleasantly surprised by the readings - pretty consistently over 1000 CO2 in the sessions, even the poster hall and large keynote room. #OHBM #covidCO2

  3. Another "lovely" high-level of #CO2 in-flight with #Delta
    At 2263 ppm while waiting to get on the runway.

    Level at boarding was 1487 ppm. 🙄

  4. #CO2 trace going to #GundamFactory #RX78F00:
    * 0900-1200 riding the #JR to #Yokohama: levels peaking into 1800 ppm -- wear KN95+ mask
    * 1300-1400 lunch indoors: peaks ~800 ppm
    * 1400-1500 Dock tour! : < 600 ppm (outside levels)
    * 1500-1600 Gundam Lab indoors: ~700 ppm
    * JR back: > ~1000 ppm -- wear KN95+ mask

  5. The #Delta Airbus 330 #CO2 levels have not improved even in-flight. Averaging north of 1300+ ppm for 11+ hours.

  6. "Bars in Belgium could be among the healthiest places to have a drink, come July. That’s when a new law goes into effect, requiring public venues to meet air-quality targets and display real-time measurements of carbon dioxide concentrations — a proxy for how much clean air is piped in."

  7. #Aranet4 data logger capabilities allows one to simply calculate air changes per hour (ACH) by taking CO₂ decay data and plugging it in to a typical decay rate function.

    The local facility manager continues to say these meeting houses are safe, to code and highly energy efficient! I agree only with the latter, 'energy efficient!" 😉

  8. CW: covid, airplane ventilation

    I think we made it through without #covid despite the over-3000 #covidCO2 #flight last week! #WearTheDamnMask (It's been 7 days, and all three of us are still feeling fine and negative on serial antigen tests.)

    I wonder how everyone else is doing, though, considering that there was a lot of coughing and we were some of the very few people wearing snug KN95 #masks. 🥺

  9. CW: covid, airplane ventilation

    Airplane ventilation is still an issue. We took a half-full #United flight from Denver late on Dec. 28th, and CO2 (and temperature) spiked during boarding and especially de-icing. We were in KN95s but most (including crew) were not; lots of coughing. Levels dropped to around 1000 during the flight. #covidCO2 #CovidIsNotOver

  10. On Wednesday I felt safe eating inside the Just Salad because I got low CO2 readings. Still, I thought I'd miscalibrated my PTH-8, since it gave low readings at Just Salad and Stumptown Coffee, and in the Admin Hub.

    Then I took the 7 train home. There were delays due to a broken rail, so the train was very crowded, and the CO2 levels went up over 2000! Fortunately, they went down a bit once we got out of the tunnel and people started getting off the train... #covidCO2

  11. "On a visit to a college town, we documented the highest level we saw: 3,500+ ppm CO₂. That was in a piano bar, an older building where the ventilation was poor; windows and doors were not cracked open. The number soared as more people entered the bar."

  12. @JohanEmpa I tried it, and it reached the limit of this detector (3000 ppm), indicating as "HI". After removing from the bag, it took a while (3-5 minutes) to get back to the initial level of ~600ppm. #CovidCO2
