Discussion
Physical and chemical quality of indoor air
According to SNI 19-0232-2005, CO2 levels in the domestic terminal building of Banyu Wangi Airport still meet the predetermined threshold value of 5000 ppm. Temperature and humidity measurements were carried out as supporting data for CO and CO2 levels in space. The temperature in the check-in, waiting, and arrival halls on Sundays was 29.3, 27.3, and 29.1°C, while on Mondays, they was 30.3, 27.5, and 30.1°C, respectively. The humidity in the check-in, waiting, and arrival halls on Sundays was 75%, 69%, and 73%, respectively, while on Mondays, it was 67%, 65%, and 66 %. Following SNI 03-6572-2001, the results of temperature and humidity measurements in the three rooms exceed quality standards 11,12.
CO and CO2 levels at Banyuwangi Airport were at low concentrations which could be caused by the source, and the rate of pollution gas emissions was not too high. The results of the study by Purwanta showed that the larger the airport, the higher the flight activity, and the emissions produced would be higher as well. When indoor CO and CO2 measurements were carried out at Banyuwangi Airport, there were only two Airbus A320 aircraft with a passenger capacity of 130-200 people landing at Banyuwangi airport13.
The location of CO and CO2 emission sources in open areas also causes low levels of CO and CO2 that can enter space. The dispersion speed of a gas is directly influenced by meteorological factors such as wind speed and direction, air turbulence, and atmospheric stability 14. Based on the study conducted by Kaleka et al. , the lower density of CO than air allows it to be quickly carried away by wind blowing that points west or runway direction, followed by a decrease in the concentration of CO in ambient air because it is dispersed in the air 15.
Another factor that contributes to low levels of CO and CO2 in space is adequate indoor ventilation. In their research, natural ventilation allows airflow into the room, and the incoming airflow slightly reduces the room temperature and humidity. Inadequate airflow can cause other physical environmental conditions to become worse, such as increased temperature and humidity, which can support indoor air pollution 16. In line with the study by Talarosha, natural ventilation in the form of windows and doors and permanent ventilation of 9% has a good performance in maintaining air quality in the space (mean CO2 concentration below 1000 ppm) 17.
The waiting room had a higher CO2 level compared to other rooms, since the room is a closed space. According to research conducted by Hasibuan et al., in a closed room without an exhaust fan, the process of air exchange from inside the room to outside does not occur ; it causes the air in the room to be trapped along with increasing CO2 levels in the room 18. Based on the research by Kurniawan, mechanical ventilation is very influential on air quality in buildings, which is influenced by pressure differences between one room opening and another space, and as a result pollutants remain below the threshold 19.
The room temperature at Banyuwangi Airport exceeded 27.1°C, and the humidity in the room exceeded the required limit above 60%9. Passengers often complain about uncomfortable conditions, especially when the weather is not windy. The indoor temperature becomes high, since during the day, the air temperature outside the room is very high, while the temperature in the room is relatively low. Therefore, air flows from high pressure to low pressure, and the cold air in the room will go outside, and it can be faster if the area of the opening increases20. Changes in air temperature in the room can be influenced by natural and artificial ventilation factors (mechanical) and building structural materials. The addition of airflow in naturally ventilated spaces using mechanical ventilation such as fans is needed to lower the temperature and humidity in the room. In contrast, rooms with air conditioning require optimizing the unit performance to lower the temperature and humidity in the space.
Indoor air CO and CO2 control
Appropriate ventilation was available in 29 rooms out of 39 inhabited rooms. Rooms that did not meet the ventilation requirements were toilets, as many as ten rooms, since natural ventilation did not meet the requirements. The provision of ventilation at Banyuwangi Airport in most spaces met the requirements for adequate ventilation, both natural and mechanical. Kusumawardani et al. reported that the area of natural ventilation inlets in the JFC building Center Jember City uses SNI-03-6572-2001 standard for public buildings at least 10% of the floor area and natural ventilation with openings of at least 10% of the room area 11,21,22.
Indoor CO and CO2 detection systems are essential for applications in spaces at risk of CO and CO2 accumulation. The notification system allows users to act promptly to improve indoor air quality through ventilation or turning off pollutant source equipment 23. The monitor should not be installed in an air-dead room (i.e., near the ceiling), near a window or near a door where there is a lot of air movement, and should not be exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity. Excessive heat or cold will affect performance, and extreme humidity will affect activation time 24.
The assessment of CO and CO2 control efforts in space at Banyuwangi Airport received 2.23 points from the total points. The overall value of points was from the ventilation aspect, while the aspect of monitoring devices and warning alarms obtained 0 points each. Latuconsina stated that Rusunawa Pesakih Jakarta obtained 4 points for the category of health and comfort in space, for implementing natural ventilation 2 points, and for smoking ban obtained 2 points 25. Meanwhile, research at Sugar Factory Tjoekir Jombang showed that the suitability of the physical environment with Green Building approach only met 5% of conformity data due to the absence of CO2 monitoring 26.
Assessment criterion of Green Building By Circular Letter of the Directorate Jenderal General of Copyright Republik Indonesia Number 86 Years 2016, is a maximum total point of 205 points from all aspects of assessment 27. To achieve the minimum criterion for green building, the required point was at least 70% of the overall point or 143.5 point. Therefore, this study cannot represent achievements of Green Building at the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport, since the assessment was limited to only CO and CO2 control aspects. CO and CO2 control assessments can improve health efforts and comfort in space as one of the conditions to achieve a Green Building at the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport.
Conclusion
CO and CO2 levels of indoor air at Banyuwangi Airport follow SNI 19-0232-2005, below 29 ppm for CO and below 5000 ppm for CO2. Indoor temperature and humidity at Banyuwangi Airport did not meet the standards in SNI 03-6572-2001, namely, room temperature exceeding 27.1 °C and humidity exceeding 60% RH. Control of indoor CO and CO2 at Banyuwangi Airport based on SE Director General of Cipta Karya Number 86 of 2016 received 2.23 points out of the total points that could be 9 or 24.7% points. Rooms with appropriate ventilation based on SNI 03-6572-2001 were 29 or 74.3% of the total 39 rooms that were measured. The detection system for CO and CO2 air levels in space was unsuitable based on SE Director General of Cipta Karya No. 86 of 2016, since there was no detection system in risky spaces. Mechanical ventilation can be used to reduce temperature and humidity in the space. Installing mechanical ventilation in the form of exhaust fans in the toilet is needed to increase airflow and remove dirty air from the room. It is necessary to install a CO and CO2 detection system in the form of monitors and alarms connected to the ventilation system in rooms at risk of CO and CO2 accumulation, namely in the check-in room, waiting room, and arrival hall, to minimize exposure to CO and CO2 gases.

Introduction
Green airport is a development concept with green buildings. Green buildings can be interpreted as facilities and infrastructure designed to be healthy and built in the way of resource efficiency using ecological principles 1. According to the regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Urban Housing Indonesian No. 02/PRT/M/2015 criterion, green building includes indoor air quality planning to improve the health and comfort of space users. One fulfillment of indoor air quality criteria is the control of indoor carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. Control of CO and CO2 levels in the room is carried out by providing adequate ventilation and monitoring CO and CO2 levels, so that they are consistently below the threshold. Green buildings can be interpreted as facilities and infrastructure designed to be healthy and built using resource efficiency procedures and ecological principles 1. Based on the Minister of PUPR RI No. 02 / PRT / M of 2015, a green building is a building that meets building requirements and has a significant measurable performance in saving energy, water, and other resources through the application of green building principles. Green building aims to create a sustainable green building by meeting the requirements for green building construction, both technical requirements and administrative requirements of green buildings. They are efficient, healthy, safe, comfortable, easy, energy and other resource efficient, and eco-friendly 2.
The air in the room can be more dangerous because humans spend more than 90% of their time indoors 3. Factors causing air quality problems in the room are pollutants from inside and outside the room, ventilation systems, carrier media, and people’s history of diseases 4. According to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the magnitude of the contribution to the cause of indoor air pollution is the lack of air ventilation contributing by 52%, followed by the presence of sources of indoor contamination by 17%, sources of outdoor contamination by 11%, microbes contributing 5%, building materials by 3%, and others by 12% 5.
CO and CO2 gases are odourless, colourless, and tasteless at low levels, which can cause health problems and even death if exposed to high concentrations. Excessive levels of CO and CO2 in space can cause discomfort in the form of headaches, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, confusion, and weakness 5. The source of CO and CO2 at airports comes from the residual combustion of avtur by jet engines, motor vehicle emissions, and human activity. Activities in the airport building include passenger traffic, passenger service, provision (heating/cooking), food, and smoking 6. The location of the apron area adjacent to the terminal building has the potential to cause the entry of CO gas emissions from outdoor aircraft into the building. In addition, the density of passengers also contributes to increase CO2 in space. The content of CO and CO2 in space is greatly influenced by building materials and airport building height 7. Exposure to CO will cause platelets and blood vessel model cells to drain free radical material in the form of nitric oxide (NO), which will cause chronic artery damage. Cross-sectional studies have shown that Atherosclerosis heart disease is more closely associated with Carboxyhemoglobin (COHB) than smoking. It can be concluded that COHB can be used as a biological marker in smokers and less functioning as an atherogenesis agent 8. CO enters the body through the lungs, directly absorbing and combining with hemoglobin (Hb). COHB can reach the highest levels in the coronary arteries and brain, and the levels are low in peripheral arteries. CO gas exits the body through the lungs, and COHB has a half-life of 5 to 6 hours. CO gas can cause respiratory problems. High levels of COHB contained in arterial blood vessels can damage blood vessels, which is mediated by the release of NO from blood vessel endothelial cells and resulting in oxidative damage to the perivascular tissue 8. Indoor CO generally has reasonable levels, but if it is too high it can cause dizziness and headaches. CO2 will interfere with the cellular respiratory process. Symptoms arising from chronic CO2 exposure are vague and difficult to predict, and if present are nonspecific. To avoid health problems and comfort, CO2 levels in buildings are attempted to be less than 600 ppm. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) states that CO2 levels in spaces exceeding 1000 ppm should seek adequate ventilation, while the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) determines that the maximum CO2 levels allowed in the workplace are 5000 ppm 5.
Banyuwangi Airport is an airport that is claimed to be the first airport to use the concept of a green airport. The results of preliminary studies that researchers have conducted showed that green building at Banyuwangi Airport is only applicable in the domestic terminal building. The building uses a few air conditioning devices; the interior design of the building was designed with minimal partitions, while the grid-shaped walls were expected to make air circulation run smoothly. Based on the study by Hutomo (2019), temperature conditions at Banyuwangi Airport tend to be warm and a little hot, causing uncomfortable conditions. Room conditions can be comfortable with temperatures between 25°C to 32°C. Uncomfortable conditions can be caused because in some rooms there is an inappropriate room temperature, humidity and air flow limits, so that air can circulate. It is difficult to enter the building, since the entrance holes are small in some rooms 9. Therefore, this study aims to determine the achievement and application of indoor CO and CO2 control efforts to create a green airport at Banyuwangi Airport as well as an assessment of the application of green airport-based buildings at Banyuwangi Airport.
Materials and Methods
This study used a descriptive research method. The unit of analysis in this study was the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport. The study variables include the physical and chemical quality of indoor air and efforts to control indoor CO and CO2. The physical and chemical quality of indoor air consisted of temperature, humidity, CO levels, and CO2 levels, while CO and CO2 control efforts were ventilation systems, detection devices, and warning alarms. The ventilation system used in the airport area included natural and mechanical ventilation. Natural ventilation is meant by using natural windows that allow air to enter and exit from outside to the airport space, thus allowing exposure to CO and CO2 from aircraft on the runway into the airport space.
Measurements of CO and CO2 levels were carried out in the check-in room, waiting room, and arrival room, which were specially chosen considering that these rooms are places close to the airplane apron and many residents are active in these areas. Purposive sampling is based on a consideration made by the researcher himself, and according to the characteristics or properties of the sampling point’s location. Determination of CO and CO2 level measurement was performed based on SNI 7230:2009 with 85 sampling points in the selected room. CO and CO2 levels were measured during peak flight hours at 11.30-14.00 WIB on Sundays and Mondays as a representation of weekdays and holidays 10. CO and CO2 sampling was carried out in dry season to minimize bias due to rain. Measurement of the area and location of ventilation was done using a measuring device in the form of a rolling meter. CO and CO2 exposure measurement was carried out at several points, and the tool was exposed at a height of 1-1.5 meters from the floor to get the appropriate results of exposure to humans.
Data were obtained through observation and measurement at the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport. Observations were made to obtain data on the condition of ventilation, detection devices, and warning alarms in buildings. Measurements were made to determine the location and size of ventilation in the building and determine the temperature, humidity, CO levels, and CO2 levels. Temperature, humidity, CO, and CO2 levels were measured using CO and CO2 tools-detector by electrochemical, pre-equipped thermohygrometer. The data were then analyzed descriptively by tabulation and compared with related regulations, namely the Minister of PUPR RI No. 02 / PRT / M Year 2015, SNI 03-6572-2001, SNI 19-0232-2005.

Results
Physical and chemical quality of indoor air
CO and CO2 control efforts aimed to achieve healthy and comfortable environmental conditions for room residents, especially in the aspects of physical air quality in the form of temperature and humidity and air chemical quality in the form of CO and CO2 levels. CO and CO2 levels were measured momentarily for 30 minutes at 30 different points in each room, namely the check-in room, lounge, and arrival hall.
Based on Table 1, the measurement of CO levels showed a result of 0 ppm in the entire chamber or no CO gas found in the entire space. Measurements of CO2 levels in the check-in, waiting, and arrival halls on Sunday were 386, 814, and 384, respectively, while on Monday, sequentially, they were 388, 839, and 386 ppm. Measurement of CO2 levels in the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport showed the highest levels in the waiting room and did not show a significant difference between working days and holidays.
Indoor air CO and CO2 control
Indoor air CO and CO2 control comprised ventilation systems, CO and CO2 monitoring devices, and warning alarms. Control aspects were assessed by observing and measuring components in control efforts. Measurements were made to determine the location and size of ventilation, while observations were made to determine the condition of ventilation systems, detection devices, and warning alarms. Ventilation assessment was carried out on the entire space occupied or used for passenger and worker activities in the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport. CO and CO2 monitors and warning alarms were examined in three main rooms at risk of increased CO and CO2 levels including check-in, waiting, and arrival halls. Control of CO and CO2 in indoor air at Banyuwangi Airport based on Circular Director General Cipta Karya No. 86/2016 earned 2.23 points from the total points that can be obtained of 9 to 24.7% of points achieved.

The physical and chemical quality of indoor air consisted of temperature, humidity, CO levels, and CO2 levels, while CO and CO2 control efforts were ventilation systems, detection devices, and warning alarms. The ventilation system used in the airport area included natural and mechanical ventilation. Natural ventilation is meant by using natural windows that allow air to enter and exit from outside to the airport space, thus allowing exposure to CO and CO2 from aircraft on the runway into the airport space.
Measurements of CO and CO2 levels were carried out in the check-in room, waiting room, and arrival room, which were specially chosen considering that these rooms are places close to the airplane apron and many residents are active in these areas. Purposive sampling is based on a consideration made by the researcher himself, and according to the characteristics or properties of the sampling point’s location. Determination of CO and CO2 level measurement was performed based on SNI 7230:2009 with 85 sampling points in the selected room. CO and CO2 levels were measured during peak flight hours at 11.30-14.00 WIB on Sundays and Mondays as a representation of weekdays and holidays 10. CO and CO2 sampling was carried out in dry season to minimize bias due to rain. Measurement of the area and location of ventilation was done using a measuring device in the form of a rolling meter. CO and CO2 exposure measurement was carried out at several points, and the tool was exposed at a height of 1-1.5 meters from the floor to get the appropriate results of exposure to humans.
Data were obtained through observation and measurement at the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport. Observations were made to obtain data on the condition of ventilation, detection devices, and warning alarms in buildings. Measurements were made to determine the location and size of ventilation in the building and determine the temperature, humidity, CO levels, and CO2 levels. Temperature, humidity, CO, and CO2 levels were measured using CO and CO2 tools-detector by electrochemical, pre-equipped thermohygrometer. The data were then analyzed descriptively by tabulation and compared with related regulations, namely the Minister of PUPR RI No. 02 / PRT / M Year 2015, SNI 03-6572-2001, SNI 19-0232-2005.

Results
Physical and chemical quality of indoor air
CO and CO2 control efforts aimed to achieve healthy and comfortable environmental conditions for room residents, especially in the aspects of physical air quality in the form of temperature and humidity and air chemical quality in the form of CO and CO2 levels. CO and CO2 levels were measured momentarily for 30 minutes at 30 different points in each room, namely the check-in room, lounge, and arrival hall.
Based on Table 1, the measurement of CO levels showed a result of 0 ppm in the entire chamber or no CO gas found in the entire space. Measurements of CO2 levels in the check-in, waiting, and arrival halls on Sunday were 386, 814, and 384, respectively, while on Monday, sequentially, they were 388, 839, and 386 ppm. Measurement of CO2 levels in the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport showed the highest levels in the waiting room and did not show a significant difference between working days and holidays.
Indoor air CO and CO2 control
Indoor air CO and CO2 control comprised ventilation systems, CO and CO2 monitoring devices, and warning alarms. Control aspects were assessed by observing and measuring components in control efforts. Measurements were made to determine the location and size of ventilation, while observations were made to determine the condition of ventilation systems, detection devices, and warning alarms. Ventilation assessment was carried out on the entire space occupied or used for passenger and worker activities in the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport. CO and CO2 monitors and warning alarms were examined in three main rooms at risk of increased CO and CO2 levels including check-in, waiting, and arrival halls. Control of CO and CO2 in indoor air at Banyuwangi Airport based on Circular Director General Cipta Karya No. 86/2016 earned 2.23 points from the total points that can be obtained of 9 to 24.7% of points achieved.

Discussion
Physical and chemical quality of indoor air
According to SNI 19-0232-2005, CO2 levels in the domestic terminal building of Banyu Wangi Airport still meet the predetermined threshold value of 5000 ppm. Temperature and humidity measurements were carried out as supporting data for CO and CO2 levels in space. The temperature in the check-in, waiting, and arrival halls on Sundays was 29.3, 27.3, and 29.1°C, while on Mondays, they was 30.3, 27.5, and 30.1°C, respectively. The humidity in the check-in, waiting, and arrival halls on Sundays was 75%, 69%, and 73%, respectively, while on Mondays, it was 67%, 65%, and 66 %. Following SNI 03-6572-2001, the results of temperature and humidity measurements in the three rooms exceed quality standards 11,12.
CO and CO2 levels at Banyuwangi Airport were at low concentrations which could be caused by the source, and the rate of pollution gas emissions was not too high. The results of the study by Purwanta showed that the larger the airport, the higher the flight activity, and the emissions produced would be higher as well. When indoor CO and CO2 measurements were carried out at Banyuwangi Airport, there were only two Airbus A320 aircraft with a passenger capacity of 130-200 people landing at Banyuwangi airport13.
The location of CO and CO2 emission sources in open areas also causes low levels of CO and CO2 that can enter space. The dispersion speed of a gas is directly influenced by meteorological factors such as wind speed and direction, air turbulence, and atmospheric stability 14. Based on the study conducted by Kaleka et al. , the lower density of CO than air allows it to be quickly carried away by wind blowing that points west or runway direction, followed by a decrease in the concentration of CO in ambient air because it is dispersed in the air 15.
Another factor that contributes to low levels of CO and CO2 in space is adequate indoor ventilation. In their research, natural ventilation allows airflow into the room, and the incoming airflow slightly reduces the room temperature and humidity. Inadequate airflow can cause other physical environmental conditions to become worse, such as increased temperature and humidity, which can support indoor air pollution 16. In line with the study by Talarosha, natural ventilation in the form of windows and doors and permanent ventilation of 9% has a good performance in maintaining air quality in the space (mean CO2 concentration below 1000 ppm) 17.
The waiting room had a higher CO2 level compared to other rooms, since the room is a closed space. According to research conducted by Hasibuan et al., in a closed room without an exhaust fan, the process of air exchange from inside the room to outside does not occur ; it causes the air in the room to be trapped along with increasing CO2 levels in the room 18. Based on the research by Kurniawan, mechanical ventilation is very influential on air quality in buildings, which is influenced by pressure differences between one room opening and another space, and as a result pollutants remain below the threshold 19.
The room temperature at Banyuwangi Airport exceeded 27.1°C, and the humidity in the room exceeded the required limit above 60%9. Passengers often complain about uncomfortable conditions, especially when the weather is not windy. The indoor temperature becomes high, since during the day, the air temperature outside the room is very high, while the temperature in the room is relatively low. Therefore, air flows from high pressure to low pressure, and the cold air in the room will go outside, and it can be faster if the area of the opening increases20. Changes in air temperature in the room can be influenced by natural and artificial ventilation factors (mechanical) and building structural materials. The addition of airflow in naturally ventilated spaces using mechanical ventilation such as fans is needed to lower the temperature and humidity in the room. In contrast, rooms with air conditioning require optimizing the unit performance to lower the temperature and humidity in the space.
Indoor air CO and CO2 control
Appropriate ventilation was available in 29 rooms out of 39 inhabited rooms. Rooms that did not meet the ventilation requirements were toilets, as many as ten rooms, since natural ventilation did not meet the requirements. The provision of ventilation at Banyuwangi Airport in most spaces met the requirements for adequate ventilation, both natural and mechanical. Kusumawardani et al. reported that the area of natural ventilation inlets in the JFC building Center Jember City uses SNI-03-6572-2001 standard for public buildings at least 10% of the floor area and natural ventilation with openings of at least 10% of the room area 11,21,22.
Indoor CO and CO2 detection systems are essential for applications in spaces at risk of CO and CO2 accumulation. The notification system allows users to act promptly to improve indoor air quality through ventilation or turning off pollutant source equipment 23. The monitor should not be installed in an air-dead room (i.e., near the ceiling), near a window or near a door where there is a lot of air movement, and should not be exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity. Excessive heat or cold will affect performance, and extreme humidity will affect activation time 24.
The assessment of CO and CO2 control efforts in space at Banyuwangi Airport received 2.23 points from the total points. The overall value of points was from the ventilation aspect, while the aspect of monitoring devices and warning alarms obtained 0 points each. Latuconsina stated that Rusunawa Pesakih Jakarta obtained 4 points for the category of health and comfort in space, for implementing natural ventilation 2 points, and for smoking ban obtained 2 points 25. Meanwhile, research at Sugar Factory Tjoekir Jombang showed that the suitability of the physical environment with Green Building approach only met 5% of conformity data due to the absence of CO2 monitoring 26.
Assessment criterion of Green Building By Circular Letter of the Directorate Jenderal General of Copyright Republik Indonesia Number 86 Years 2016, is a maximum total point of 205 points from all aspects of assessment 27. To achieve the minimum criterion for green building, the required point was at least 70% of the overall point or 143.5 point. Therefore, this study cannot represent achievements of Green Building at the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport, since the assessment was limited to only CO and CO2 control aspects. CO and CO2 control assessments can improve health efforts and comfort in space as one of the conditions to achieve a Green Building at the domestic terminal building of Banyuwangi Airport.
Conclusion
CO and CO2 levels of indoor air at Banyuwangi Airport follow SNI 19-0232-2005, below 29 ppm for CO and below 5000 ppm for CO2. Indoor temperature and humidity at Banyuwangi Airport did not meet the standards in SNI 03-6572-2001, namely, room temperature exceeding 27.1 °C and humidity exceeding 60% RH. Control of indoor CO and CO2 at Banyuwangi Airport based on SE Director General of Cipta Karya Number 86 of 2016 received 2.23 points out of the total points that could be 9 or 24.7% points. Rooms with appropriate ventilation based on SNI 03-6572-2001 were 29 or 74.3% of the total 39 rooms that were measured. The detection system for CO and CO2 air levels in space was unsuitable based on SE Director General of Cipta Karya No. 86 of 2016, since there was no detection system in risky spaces. Mechanical ventilation can be used to reduce temperature and humidity in the space. Installing mechanical ventilation in the form of exhaust fans in the toilet is needed to increase airflow and remove dirty air from the room. It is necessary to install a CO and CO2 detection system in the form of monitors and alarms connected to the ventilation system in rooms at risk of CO and CO2 accumulation, namely in the check-in room, waiting room, and arrival hall, to minimize exposure to CO and CO2 gases.
