A modern battery-operated carbon dioxide/monoxide detector is the best way to detect a gas build-up. Historical note: A caged canary used to be taken down coal mines. If the canary collapsed, there was carbon dioxide present at a dangerous level to the coal miners.

∙ 8y agoCarbon dioxise sensors or detectors fall into two categories:
- Infrared gas sensors (NDIR). These work by passing a beam of infrared light through a gas stream. Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the stream at a know rate depending on its concentration. changes in the light power are converted to a concentration readout.
- Chemical gas sensors relate the chemical resistance of strips of chemicals on plastic which vary as the carbon dioxide concentration in the air.

What can help detect a carbon monoxide buildup?
A carbon monoxide detector.
What do plants make the help of carbon dioxide?
Respiration - make carbon in carbon dioxide
What substance used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide?
Test for Carbon Dioxide: Bubble unknown gas in lime water. Limewater should go milky if Carbon dioxide is present. Test for water: Add anhydrous copper sulphate crystals (white in colour) to unknown solution. If solution goes a brilliant light blue colour, water is present as the hydrous copper sulphate crystals were formed. Did this help?
