Designing a Carbon Monoxide Detector with Arduino for a Car Project

Hello @jremington
I was curious about your explanation.

Recently here in Brazil, 4 young people died in a car due to CO2 poisoning due to a defect.
in the car's exhaust system.

So I started to analyze the possibility of making a detector to warn of "excess" CO2 inside the vehicle.

I found this sensor from SENSIRION.

But now with your statement I have doubts.

Will it not detect the level of CO2 that is harmful to people?

Thanks for your attention.
