Question 22. Air inside a room is contaminated by CO (conservative pollutant) due to inside heater emitting at a rate-0.15 mg/s and operated for long enough time which resulted in high indoor pollution that poses high risk for humans. It is required now to immediately ventilate the room to reduce the concentration of CO to the acceptable level. Assume that the ambient air concentration of CO negligible, what is the rate of ventilation required to reduce the concentration into an acceptab my which is equivalent to the initial concentration (0.12 mg/m³) before operating the heater?

Question 22.
Air inside a room is contaminated by CO (conservative pollutant) due to inside heater emitting Co
at a rate 0.15 mg/s and operated for long enough time which resulted in high indoor pollution
that poses high risk for humans. It is required now to immediately ventilate the room to reduce the
concentration of CO to the acceptable level. Assume that the ambient air concentration of CO is
negligible, what is the rate of ventilation required to reduce the concentration into an acceptable
level which is equivalent to the initial concentration (0.12 mg/m³) before operating the heater?
