Went looking for devices for the bedroom, but ran into an article about plants that might help in that setting: https://thewgnews.com/planting-hope-air-cleaning-house-plant...
I'm eager to hear the results. I recently got an Awair 2.0 after seeing this talk by DHH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRqh8oLY7Ik It quickly confirmed that, without turning my thermostat fan to "ON", my bedroom CO2 jumps from about 1000 ppm to 2000 ppm within a couple hours of us going to sleep. In the fall, my wife and I started waking up in the middle of the night feeling like we couldn't breathe. What I figure…

Install an air exchanger. Panasonic makes some that are reasonably priced.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not any time soon, as far as I'm aware. According to [0] a fancy article from Business Insider, the rate of increase is 2ppm/yr, on average. But many studies suggest cognitive effects of CO2 levels as low as 1,000ppm. See: https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/ehp.1510037 [0]: https://www.businessinsider.com/carbon-dioxide-record-human-...
Thanks! So 2ppm/year gives us another 300 yrs to top 1000 ppm. I guess we’re safe for now! Rock on
SO many potential confounding variables, there is zero value in what is being done here.

Those scrub the air of pollutants. No way they lower co2 sufficiently though. Plants reduce co2 by growing. Which they do....slowly. By contrast a human will spike the air in a room quickly by breathing.
”But if one room can mix with and increase the Netatmo’s room all the way up to 1934PPM, what must the original concentration have been like?” Why not move the weather station to the bedroom for a couple of nights? (And make sure the sensor is at nose/mouth height, preferably close to it. CO2 is heavier than air, so concentrations may be higher closer to the floor in a closed room with little movement) I would also d…
"Why not move the weather station to the bedroom for a couple of nights?" which he did, not too far further into the article?
I was lucky to get my hands on 5 proper co2 sensors from university, while I was teaching and working. So plenty of test places. What I found: -Just a couple of hours in a office, without ventilation spikes the co2 enough to make everyone dizzy and tired by the end of the day. Keeping eye on the meter and ventilating properly, increased everyones productivity and people werent so tired by the end of the day. - Classr…

You'd need hundreds of houseplants to mitigate the co2 created by one person completely, I am not sure if a few would be better than nothing.
