Correcting to a reference carbon dioxide content [ edit ] The following equation can be used to correct a measured pollutant concentration in an emitted gas (containing a measured CO 2 content) to an equivalent pollutant concentration in an emitted gas containing a specified reference amount of CO 2 : [ 5 ]
This article presents methods for converting concentrations from ppmv to mg/m 3 (and vice versa) and for correcting the concentrations to the required reference conditions. All of the concentrations and concentration corrections in this article apply only to air and other gases. They are not applicable for liquids.
Carbon dioxide concentrations in closed or confined rooms can increase to 1,000 ppm within 45 minutes of enclosure. For example, in a 3.5-by-4-metre (11 ft × 13 ft) sized office, atmospheric carbon dioxide increased from 500 ppm to over 1,000 ppm within 45 minutes of ventilation cessation and closure of windows and doors.

Many gases can be put into a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure by simple cooling; a few, such as carbon dioxide, require pressurization as well. Liquefaction is used for analyzing the fundamental properties of gas molecules (intermolecular forces), or for the storage of gases, for example: LPG, and in refrigeration and air conditioning.
A breathing gas is a mixture of gaseous chemical elements and compounds used for respiration. Air is the most common and only natural breathing gas. Other mixtures of gases, or pure oxygen, are also used in breathing equipment and enclosed habitats such as scuba equipment, surface supplied diving equipment, recompression chambers, high-altitude mountaineering, high-flying aircraft, submarines ...
Prepared samples are combusted from 1000 up to 1200 degrees C in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. All carbon present converts to carbon dioxide, flows through scrubber tubes to remove interferences such as chlorine gas, and water vapor, and the carbon dioxide is measured either by absorption into a strong base then weighed, or using an infrared ...
The body’s tissues need oxygen to function. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a medical-grade, FDA-approved chamber allows you to breathe pure oxygen—as opposed to everyday air, which is mostly ...
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) [1] was a technology demonstration on the NASA Mars 2020 rover Perseverance investigating the production of oxygen on Mars. [2] On April 20, 2021, MOXIE produced oxygen from carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere by using solid oxide electrolysis.
