The atmospheric levels of CO2 have been increasing over the past two centuries due to human activities, and presently about three-quarters of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions are due to fossil-fuel combustion. By providing a new, alternative sensor, that is significantly lower cost than, but provides comparable performance to, existing sensors it will open the door for expanded monitoring of ...
· These highly cost-effective instruments monitor CO2 levels inside small to medium sized rooms and buildings and are widely used in locations such as schools and restaurants. These indoor air monitors inform the user of potential rises in exposure to airborne transmissions, calculated by monitoring CO2 levels and activities within the area being observed. These devices have been set to monitor ...
Using CO2 Sensor for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)-Used in Food Storage Industry In the food storage industry, sensors are being used for process control, monitoring quality, and assessing safety. The demandfor reliable and low cost CO2 sensors is growing because carbon dioxide sensors can be used to detect CO2 levels in modified-atmosphere packages and storage structures, which are widely used in the bulk food storage, etc. In this case, NDIR carbon dioxide sensor and ultrasonic CO2 ...

Places where the sensor didn’t collect data, perhaps due to clouds, are gray. In different parts of the world and in different seasons, the amounts and sources of atmospheric carbon monoxide change. In Africa, for example, the seasonal shifts in carbon monoxide are tied to the widespread agricultural burning that shifts north and south of the equator with the seasons. Fires are an important ...
Phase II will develop and field test a prototype instrument with sub-part-per-million precision for carbon dioxide detection, suitable for deployment on balloon sondes. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by awardee: In addition to its use as a research instrument for atmospheric measurements, a low cost, portable gas sensor should have application in such areas as gas leak ...

· The sensor for carbon dioxide (CO2) is based on a quite different analytical approach. CO2 is a weakly acidic gas that can change the pH of a buffer contained inside a gas-permeable sensor membrane. The acidification of such an "immobilised" buffer resulting from exposure to CO2 is indicated by a fluorescent pH indicator. Several possibilities were considered, of which the measurement of …

By functionalizing a silicon microring resonator with a thin layer of the polymer, we could detect CO 2 gas concentrations in the 0-500ppm range with a sensitivity of 6 × …
We developed a low-power, portable, wireless laser spectroscopic sensor for atmospheric CO 2 monitoring. The sensor is based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy with a 2-μm wavelength VCSEL as a source and wavelength modulation technique for spectroscopic signal detection. The sensor allows measurement of CO 2 concentration changes with a 1σ sensitivity of ppmv Hz-1/2. This ...
development of a stand-alone, lightweight CO2 sensor for use on balloon sondes. This device will have sub part-per-million (ppm) sensitivity and weigh less than 1 kg. INTRODUCTION Over the past decade, the importance of understanding the sources and sinks of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases has been recognized. A variety of research studies to measure the fluxes and
· The carbon dioxide data on Mauna Loa constitute the longest record of direct measurements of CO 2 in the atmosphere. They were started by C. David Keeling of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in March of 1958 at a facility of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [Keeling, 1976].
the gas atmosphere in the packages, and therefore about the quality of the packaged food. In particular, optical indicator materials incorporated on or in the pack can be used to monitor the package integrity. For such a solution it is necessary to find optical sensor membranes for oxygen and carbon dioxide that can be used in these sensor strips. They should be capable of detecting changes over the whole
A carbon dioxide sensor or CO 2 sensor is an instrument for the measurement of carbon dioxide gas. The most common principles for CO 2 sensors are infrared gas sensors and chemical gas carbon dioxide is important in monitoring indoor air quality, the function of the lungs in the form of a capnograph device, and many industrial processes.
We report a silicon photonic refractometric CO2 gas sensor operating at room temperature and capable of detecting CO2 gas at atmospheric concentrations. The sensor uses a novel functional material layer based on a guanidine polymer derivative, which is shown to exhibit reversible refractive index change upon absorption and release of CO2 gas molecules, and does not require the presence of ...

· While rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere cause great concern worldwide, most of us pay little attention to risks posed by CO2 changes indoors. CO2 concentration in fresh air is about 400 parts per million (ppm). But get a group of people packed in a closed indoor space, and CO2 concentration can rise quickly. Recent studies suggest that as levels increase above 1,000 ppm, …
