I saw an interesting product sponsoring a YouTuber last night: Aranet. It monitors the air in your house for CO2. It sells for $163, but there are similar devices that are less expensive. At this point in my life, does it really matter? I've lived here for 58 years. If the CO2 is too high, what do I do - open the windows? It gets cold here in the winter.

I've never tested for radon, either, or had my water tested. Tests always show something bad, but how bad is it really? If I was just starting out in life, I might be more cautious, but I'm still alive and healthy after eighty years. I had my physical exam yesterday, and the doctor said I have the body of a 79-year-old! No, seriously, I'm in good condition, with good results from the blood test.

If they can't sell it to you there is no hope they can sell at all.

I had to check the product because I thought the opening post was a typo, and was meant to be CO (carbon monoxide).

"Ever feel tired and drowsy in a room? Can’t focus and head feels heavy? Your air quality might be to blame. Namely, the CO2 level."...And here I thought it was my cat waking me at 2:30 a.m. every day!!

Nah, they're hoping to get people "worked up" about CO2,
and sell the sensors.

Wait until someone starts promoting methane sensors........

I have the smoke alarm and CO alarm combo in my house. In fact like 10 of them.

When I worked for a real estate company in Maine, radon tests were required when selling a home, and water tests (if not city water) were highly recommended to the buyers as part of their inspection.

Congrats on your good health, Jerry!

If you have house plants, you want some CO2.

If your CO2 is too high, get some house plants.

Next thing you know, someone will invent a machine that will monitor the concentration of Argon in your house.*

* Argon concentration is much higher than CO2 as it accounts for almost 1% of the atmosphere. Argon must be bad for you since it is an inert gas and doesn't react with anything. It just takes up space that could be used for more productive elements.

I have learned a long time ago that it takes only four inches of Di-Hydrogen Oxide to be unhealthy to a person. I try to remember to go tippy-toe on rainy days.

I thought that Argon was a plural for Begone.

PT Barnum said it best--A sucker is born every minute. Concentration must be high at my house all the house plants flourish.
