Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

So is it correct that degraded cognitive performance/incapacitation is the main concern here? Of all the threats to cognitive performance/incapacitation on a sailboat, where do you place high CO2 in...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

I'm sincerely grateful to your posts...many/most have taught me something useful. I'll try to reciprocate, but you have to meet me half way. I don't mean to denigrate, be superlative, whatever. ...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

Yes. Bolded parts are the bottom line.
C02 sensor/alarm is not necessary or desirable, all things considered. I referenced the NNT/NNH metric upthread; where the proposed intervention can solve no...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

I wish he was joking. Please consider re-reading what was said. He is articulating concern that the ambient effective partial pressure of oxygen would be depleted so as to present a safety concern....

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

Unicorns carrying ham sandwiches arriving on the boat is also bad. To promote the use of 'unicorn with ham sandwich proximity alarms' suggests exceptional foresight in the unicorn/ham sandwich...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

John, you don't seem to understand basic biology nor perhaps combustion. In responding to Taipe you neglected to quote the parts where he was trying to correct you. I'm certain that on review Taipe...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

I provided such calculations here on the same subject last month.

John, it does not appear as though understanding gas science and sensors is your strong suit and gasses seem in general to cause...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

Your point is specious and fear-mongering if not substantiated.

Which precise gases in about what total concentrations from which precise sources are you contending to potentially cause a...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

As a practical matter, completely remove low oxygen concerns from the radar screen on a sailboat (or car/van/truck for that matter) unless you're drugged/drunk/carrying dozens of pounds of dry ice....

^^^^^^^^^^^this.

Renovating the interior of my boat (much sanding residue, no vapor chemicals) I have to seal everything up just to avoid a constant ~snowstorm...this with just a gentle breeze...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

Let me help review something. This is basic neuroscience and it doesn't need to get harder than this. Gord, you don't have to agree with it, but this template, if applied, explains most of human...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

A false sense of security is the reason it's not reasonable. It's one thing to appreciate that some people speed in their car knowing that they have belts/airbags. When the car manufacturer also...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

I don't know the...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

Forget ppm/cognitive for a minute. No need to type out numbers in response, but at minimum consider this conceptually to see if we can remedy a concern.

Assuming that you're of average/normal...

Re: Riding out a storm, sealed up tight down below. Watch out for CO2.

Please be very careful with reporting numbers and suppositions and the need for countermeasures. There are countless things that you can do to people to cause a transient degradation of cognitive...
