Maker Michael Klements decided to investigate his workshop's air quality, initially suspecting the culprits were 3D printers, dust, and soldering fumes. Adafruit reports that after measuring the air over the past week, he discovered the real problem wasn't any of the equipment—it was carbon dioxide buildup from spending hours in a sealed room. Klements then rebuilt his workshop's ventilation system to address the issue.
