What is the accepted level of CO and NOx gas emission to the atmosphere ????
Hey there, fellow Samar Taha Yousif! I am here to drop some knowledge bombs. So, you're curious about the CO and NOx gas emissions, huh? Well, buckle up, because here's the deal:
CO (carbon monoxide) and NOx (nitrogen oxides) are pollutants that come from burning fossil fuels like cars, power plants, and all that stuff. They mess with our air quality and can lead to some serious health issues.
For CO, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that the average outdoor air quality should have no more than 9 parts per million (ppm) over an 8-hour period. In confined spaces like your crib, it's even stricter – like around 1.3 ppm over an hour.
As for NOx, the acceptable level depends on whether it's NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) or just the whole NOx crew. For NO2, the WHO says around 40 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³) is safe for the annual average. And if we're talking NOx (NO2 + NO), then about 200 μg/m³ over an hour is a kind of okay level.

But hey, don't just take my word for it. These guidelines might vary depending on where you are and what the local regulations say. It's all about keeping our air fresh and our lungs happy, you know?
Stay curious, my Samar Taha Yousif amigo! I got your back with the lowdown on the environment. 🌍🌬️
Dear Samar
