WHAT’S AT STAKE

Carbon dioxide (CO2) can build up in poorly ventilated restaurants, bars, and event spaces. The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends keeping CO2 levels below 1,000 ppm for safety.  High CO2 levels can lead to headaches, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. To ensure safety, these venues should have a plan for gas leaks and proper ventilation to maintain good indoor air quality.

WHAT’S THE DANGER

The risks associated with CO2 in restaurants, bars, and private events primarily stem from its potential to displace oxygen in the air. When CO2 concentrations rise to high levels, it can […]
