- Information about the level of CO present in the air is usually expressed in ppm, parts per million. This unit indicates how many parts of CO are in a million parts of air, for example, how many molecules of CO are in a million molecules of the gases that make up the air, or how many cm³ of CO are in a million cm³ of air . The maximum limit recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 9 ppm.The information corresponding to several days of a week in Buenos Aires was: Tuesday (8-16 hs) 8 ppm; Thursday (8am-4pm) 8.5ppm, (4pm-midnight) 3ppm; Friday (8am-4pm) 10.5ppm.
