As CO\u2082 builds up from normal breathing and daily activities, ventilation becomes limited \u2014 and air quality will decline.\n\nWhile CO\u2082 at typical household levels isn\u2019t toxic, higher concentrations often signal that additional fresh air exchange is needed \u2014 meaning other pollutants like allergens, VOCs, fine particulates and odors may also be concentrating over time.\n<h3>How to Reduce CO\u2082 Levels<\/h3>\n<ul>\n\t<li>Improve ventilation (install an ERV\/HRV system)<\/li>\n\t<li>Crack windows whenever temperature allows<\/li>\n\t<li>Monitor indoor air levels<\/li>\n\t<li>Address underlying air quality concerns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWe take a whole-home approach to indoor air quality.
