I have a CO² sensor. When I sleep with the door shut, the CO² climbs up to and levels out at >1800 ppm.
I have a noticable headache the following day when I do this. I’ve tested it for nine days and now I’ve got a doorstop which prevents me from closing the door completely by accident or with drafts
There was research into algae to make fuel, started during the arab oil embargo, killed off by big oil, then exxon eco opted it and made sure it went no where and finally just killed it. But the national renewable energy laboratory has a bunch of strains at cost. The best strains mysteriously disappeared from the university of hawaii that is holding them.
Put it this way, to provide enough oxygen for a human, you would have to grow the equivalent plant matter worth of carbon. We eat a lot of carbon, that’s a lot of plant growth per day.

Brew vats of algae in your room. Creates a ton of oxygen and is really easy to care for.
That’s the most engineer ass answer I’ve ever seen.
High Co2? Algae can solve that. How much… Well a vat should do, better make it two just in case.
“Why yes, I do keep vats of algae in my bedroom why do you ask?”
There was a video from a guy that tested that. It didn’t go as well as he hoped.
If I am remembering the same video, he had like 4 five gallon containers. You can hardly call that a vat…
Replace your bed with a water bed, fill it with algae. Problem solved.
What kind of algae? I want to grow a vat of it. Assuming it’s a fresh water algae.

You have poor ventilation in that room. Should look to making a vent
Get a Snake plant. They create a lot of Oxygen and easy to take care of.
You would need hundreds of houseplants to offset a single human’s CO2/provide enough O2.
I’m not anti house plants, they have benefits, but a single plant will not make a meaningful oxygen difference.
6 Normal size snake plants can produce enough oxygen to keep a single human alive fyi
Source? As far as I’m aware that’s a false claim that’s been circulating for a while. It distorted a NASA study about air quality, not even about oxygen production. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-nasa-study-snake-plants-oxygen-survival-212605533455

Wow, it’s 432 ppm in the air. That is a lot. You should get some house plants.
That is wild.
Well there’s another sensor to add to my wish list!
Although, we have a lot of HVAC flow into the bedroom so maybe the difference wouldn’t be huge.
