Hmm. 0.04% = 400 ppm (world average now) and 4-5% is 4000-5000 ppm, soooo, when they exhale 3500 ppm CO2 that's about right. Monona--- For more information about the DCHAS-L e-mail list, contact the Divisional membership chair at membership@dchas.org Follow us on Twitter @acsdchas

Hi Ralph,
Is that breathing directly into a CO2 meter, or analyzing the air in the breathing zone under a mask? The air we breathe in contains about 0.04% CO2, but we exhale air that contains about 4 to 5% CO2.
Thanks,
Bruce

> 900 to 1000 ppm CO2 is also where documented effects on mental acuity can be shown. It's a nice number.
Is there a reference for this? I just had one of our librarians who had been wearing a cloth mask for an hour exhale into a CO2 meter and he hit 3500 ppm. After wearing a cloth mask for 20 minutes, I max out around 1500, so I suspect that the longer wearing periods could become productivty problem.
