Carbon dioxide poisoning treatment and prevention methods

Carbon dioxide is a colourless, odourless gas that is essential for our survival, but if we inhale too much of it, it can lead to poisoning, which can be very harmful to human health. When carbon dioxide poisoning occurs, we need to learn how to deal with it in an emergency. So, what are the measures to deal with carbon dioxide poisoning and how to prevent it? Let's take a look.

1. The principle of carbon dioxide poisoning

Because carbon dioxide has a high concentration of stimulating and paralyzing effect, carbon dioxide itself is non-toxic, because it is an asphyxiating gas, so it can not supply human breathing, when the concentration of carbon dioxide exceeds a certain limit, often unknowingly make people, animals and animals poisoning, and even suffocation and death.


2. How to deal with carbon dioxide poisoning

The first reaction to carbon dioxide poisoning is dizziness, which I think most people have experienced. If respiratory and/or cardiac arrest is found, resuscitation should be administered promptly, such as artificial respiration and chest cardiac compression; so first, move the poisoned person to an open, fresh air area to breathe fresh air; let the poisoned person lie flat, clear the debris from the nose and mouth to ensure that the poisoned person is breathing freely, and pay attention to keeping warm. Call the 120 emergency number.


3. Preventive measures for carbon dioxide poisoning

If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the production area is too high, ventilate and exhaust the air first, and wear safety gear; strengthen the management of toxic and harmful chemicals; carry out carbon dioxide concentration detection in the production environment using co2 sensors on time, and take corresponding measures. To avoid carbon dioxide poisoning, the first step is to stay away from places where carbon dioxide is produced, and to take protective measures when you have to come into contact with toxic gases to avoid poisoning. If you are accidentally poisoned by carbon dioxide, you should take immediate first aid measures, such as staying away from the poisoned environment, or performing artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the unconscious person, etc. Once carbon dioxide poisoning is detected, quickly remove the poisoned person from the poisoned environment and move him/her to a space with good ventilation and air convection. If the patient is found to be in respiratory and cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be administered in a timely manner, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be given as soon as possible if the condition permits.

The working principle of carbon dioxide detector

图片
The working principle of carbon dioxide detector The working principle of the CO2 detector is mainly based on the infrared light source absorption principle. The following is the detailed working mechanism: Infrared absorption principle: Carbon dioxide detectors detect carbon dioxide gas in the environment through the absorption properties of infrared light sources. Specifically, carbon dioxide molecules have absorption properties for infrared light of specific wavelengths, especially infrared light with a wavelength of approximately 4.26 microns (4260 nanometre ). Measuring chamber and light source: The gas to be measured is introduced into a measuring chamber with an infrared light source mounted at one end of the chamber and a filter and detector at the other end. The filter allows infrared light of a specific wavelength to pass through, while the detector measures the luminous flux through the chamber. Detector Measurement: The amount of light flux received by the detector depends...

Introduction of temperature and humidity data recorder A temperature and humidity data logger is a device used to monitor and record changes in temperature and humidity in the environment. It has an important role in many areas, such as: In the laboratory, it can ensure that the experiment is carried out under the appropriate temperature and humidity conditions to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results. In the storage place, it helps the management to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the warehouse to prevent the goods from getting damp or mildew. In the production workshop, the temperature and humidity of the production environment can be monitored to ensure the normal progress of the production process. Type of temperature and humidity data logger Digital temperature and humidity recorder Features: The temperature and humidity data in the environment is collected by the sensor and displayed in digital form. This type is more common, simple and intuitive operation,...

Weather Forecasting

图片
  The Importance of Weather Forecasting Weather forecasting has an extremely important impact on our daily lives, economic activities and social security. The following are some of the main aspects: 1. Prevention of natural disasters Weather forecasts can predict possible weather disasters in advance, such as heavy rain, typhoons, snowstorms, etc., so as to take appropriate precautions to reduce the loss of life and property.   2. Planning life and production activities People can understand the future weather changes through the forecast, reasonable planning of travel, tourism, outdoor activities, etc., to improve the convenience and safety of life. For agricultural production, weather forecasts can provide farmers with references for agricultural activities such as sowing, fertile  application, irrigation, etc., so as to improve the efficiency of agricultural production and yield.   3. Emergency response When emergencies occur, such as epidemics, earthquakes, etc.,...
