Has anyone proposed a carbon monoxide tag? If not, how about: co1
This will fit with the existing carbon dioxide tag: co2
Carbon monoxide sensors are often found on carpark exhaust fans.

I like that. I guess technically you don't put a subscript for one atom of oxygen, but co1 seems very clear to me and dove tails nicely with co2. And I would say unit of measure is "ppm" just like co2?

Not sure about the 1... if used in conjunction with a "gas" tag, it would be better ?
sensor air gas:co
Would open the door for other gas
sensor air gas:no2 ; gas:c3h4 etc...

Hello everyone! My proposal on this is that we should just use a marker tag that represents the gas's chemical formula. The beauty there is that we will never have to worry about any translations worldwide, the names are already spelled out by scientific community, and it will always be a short, clear-cut tag query in your folio database. So for example, the common gases in my experience (and that might be good for future haystack documentation) would be:
carbon monoxide - co
carbon dioxide - co2
methane - ch4
ammonia - nh3
nitrogen dioxide – no2
Refrigerant gases – r134A, r123, r22, etc.
Oxygen – o2
Hydrogen - h
Also, there are a couple new units that I feel would be very beneficial if added to the haystack database regarding parking. The main gas detection unit used is ppm (which is already in the database), but there is also %v/v (percent volume by volume) and %LEL (percent of lower explosion expolosion limit) for the combustibles.
