The new feature warns users when CO2 levels get unhealthy<br />
<br />
Oslo, Norway - December 9, 2020 - Airthings, a global leader in indoor air
quality solutions for consumers, businesses, and professionals announced today a
new feature for its business solution: CO2 Alert. The new capability will help
schools and offices to keep their indoor air quality in check by warning them
when Carbon Dioxide (CO2) exceeds the recommended levels. High CO2 levels can
increase the risk of airborne viruses spreading between people and impact
cognitive abilities. By letting users know when a room needs a breather, they
can make quick changes, such as opening a window or door, to improve the air
quality. CO2 Alert will start rolling out from today to new and existing
Airthings for Business customers at no additional cost.<br />
<br />
In the midst of the current pandemic, effective ventilation has become an
important strategy for reducing the spread of COVID-19 inside offices and
schools. When we breathe out, our bodies expel CO2, and the levels can rise
quickly in enclosed spaces. This can significantly increase the risk of airborne
virus transmission. Measuring CO2 levels serves as a good indicator of indoor
air quality and ventilation, and as a result, carbon dioxide regulations are
becoming more common in offices and schools across Europe. <br />
<br />
"Schools and offices are under immense pressure to ensure their buildings
protect the health and wellness of their occupants," says Oyvind Birkenes, CEO
at Airthings. "The Airthings for Business solution not only measures CO2, but
also other indoor pollutants and conditions that impact our health,
productivity, and wellbeing. With the new CO2 Alert, we go one step further in
empowering our customers to take control of the air they breathe, making it
easier to take action when it's needed." <br />
