What is the maximum concentration of CO2 allowed in the passenger cabin for MVAC systems to be acceptable under EPA conditions?

The correct answer is: 3%

The maximum concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) allowed in the passenger cabin for Mobile Vehicle Air Conditioning (MVAC) systems is 3%. This limit is set to ensure that the air quality within the cabin remains safe and comfortable for passengers. CO2 is a byproduct of human respiration, and elevated levels can indicate that ventilation is insufficient, potentially leading to discomfort or health issues. Maintaining a concentration at or below this threshold helps to minimize the risk of symptoms associated with elevated CO2 levels, such as headaches, dizziness, and impaired concentration. By setting regulations around the acceptable limits of CO2, the EPA aims to promote passenger safety and ensure that air within vehicle cabins is adequately refreshed and ventilated, contributing to overall public health standards.
