E.1.6 Sample plastic aluminum foil composite film airbags are used to extract air from the site for 3 to 4 times, with 0.5L or 1.0L air intake, sealed air inlets, and returned to the laboratory for analysis. It is also possible to bring the instrument to the site for intermittent injection or to continuously measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air.
E.1.7 Analysis Procedure
E.1.7.1 Instrument startup and calibration
E.1.7.1.1 Start-up and zero calibration: After the instrument is powered on, it is stable for 30min to 1h. After the high-purity nitrogen or air passes through the drying tube and the caustic soda asbestos filter tube, zero calibration is performed.
E.1.7.1.2 End point calibration: Use a CO2 standard gas (such as 0.50%) to connect to the inlet of the instrument for end-point calibration.
E.1.7.1.3 Zero and end point calibrations are repeated 2 or 3 times to keep the instrument in normal operation.
E.1.7.2 Sample determination The plastic aluminum foil composite film air bag containing the air sample is connected to the air inlet of the instrument equipped with discolored silica gel or anhydrous calcium chloride, and the sample is automatically drawn into the air chamber. In, and shows the concentration of carbon dioxide (%).
If the instrument is brought to the site, it can be measured intermittently. It can monitor the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air for a long time.
E.1.8 Calculation of results The concentration of carbon dioxide in the sample can be read directly from the gas analyzer.
E.1.9 Precision and Accuracy
E.1.9.1 The reproducibility is less than 2%, and the hourly drift is less than 6%.
E.1.9.2 Accuracy depends on the standard gas uncertainty (less than 2%) and instrument stability error (less than 6%).
E.1.10 Interferences and exclusions of non-test components in the indoor air, such as methane, carbon monoxide, and water vapor, affect the measurement results. The infrared filter has a wavelength of 4.26 μm, and carbon dioxide strongly absorbs this wavelength; carbon monoxide and methane and other gases do not absorb it. Therefore, the interference of carbon monoxide and methane is negligible; however, water vapor interferes with the determination of carbon dioxide, which can reduce the reflectivity of the air chamber, and thus reduce the sensitivity of the instrument and affect the accuracy of the measurement result. Therefore, the air sample must be dried. After that, enter the instrument again.
E.2 Gas chromatography
E.2.1 Relevant standards and basis This method is mainly based on GB/T18204.24 "Measurement of carbon dioxide in air in public places".
E.2.2 Principle After CO2 is completely separated from the other air components in the column, it enters the working arm of the thermal conductivity detector so that the change in the arm's resistance value is not equal to the change in the reference arm's resistance value. The Wheatstone bridge is lost. Balanced signal output. In the linear range, the signal size is proportional to the concentration of carbon dioxide entering the detector. Thus qualitative and quantitative determinations.

E.2.5.4 Column: GDX-102 high-molecular porous polymer is filled in a stainless steel tube with a length of 3m and an inner diameter of 4mm, and glass wool is filled at both ends of the column tube. Prior to use, the newly installed column should be aged for 12 hours at a column temperature of 180°C and a nitrogen atmosphere of 70 mL/min until the baseline is stable.
E.2.6 Sampling Rubber twin ball will be used to drive the air in the air into the plastic foil-film composite airbag, allowing it to fill up and release it. This is repeated four times. After the last full time, seal the injection port and write a label indicating the sampling location and time.
E.2.7 Analysis Procedure
E.2.7.1 Chromatographic conditions Since chromatographic conditions often vary depending on the experimental conditions, the optimal chromatographic conditions for the analysis of carbon dioxide should be established based on the type and performance of the gas chromatograph used.

E.2.7.2.2 Draw the standard curve The standard gas for each concentration is passed through the six-way sampling valve of the chromatograph and the sample is taken in 3mL to obtain the chromatographic peaks and retention time of each concentration. Three times for each concentration, the average of peak heights (peak areas) was measured. A standard curve was plotted against the average peak height (peak area) of the carbon dioxide concentration (%), and the slope of the regression line was calculated. The reciprocal Bg of the slope was used as a calculation factor for the determination of the sample.
E.2.7.2.3 Determination of correction factors The correction factor is determined using a single point correction method. Take a standard gas that is close to the concentration of carbon dioxide in the sample air. Measure the average peak height (peak area) and retention time of the chromatogram peaks by operating in Section E.2.7.2.2. The correction factor is calculated using the following equation.

In the formula:
f - correction factor;
C0 - standard gas concentration, %;
H0 - average peak height (peak area).
E.2.7.3 Sample analysis Enter the sample gas through the chromatograph six-port sampling valve and proceed to section 3.2.7.2.2 to determine the peak height (peak area) of carbon dioxide. Each sample was analyzed three times and the peak height (peak area) averaged. And record the temperature and atmospheric pressure during the analysis. High concentration samples were diluted with pure nitrogen to less than 0.3% and analyzed again.

E.2.9.2 Recovery Carbon dioxide concentration is between 0.02% and 0.4%. The recovery rate is between 90% and 105%. The average recovery rate is 99%.
E.2.10 Disturbance and Elimination Due to the use of gas chromatography separation technology, air, methane, ammonia, water, and carbon dioxide do not interfere with the assay.

A.9 Capacity titration
E.3.1 Relevant standards and basis This method is mainly based on GB/T18204.24 "Measurement of carbon dioxide in air in public places".
E.3.2 Principle Use excess cesium hydroxide solution to react with carbon dioxide in the air to produce cesium carbonate precipitate. The remaining cesium hydroxide after sample is titrated with standard oxalic acid solution until the phenolphthalein reagent red just fades. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air can be measured by dividing the volumetric titration result by the volume of air sample collected.

Fill with soda-lime-treated air), add 2 drops of phenolphthalein indicator, set to a solution with oxalic acid standard drop from red to colorless, and record the volume of oxalic acid standard solution consumed. At the same time, 25 mL of unsampled cesium hydroxide absorption solution was taken as a blank titration, and the volume (mL) of consumed oxalic acid standard solution was recorded.
