Abstract
A bioindicator assembly for determining a level of CO2 in a surrounding environment includes an article and a bioindicator component applied to the article. The bioindicator component includes a composite fabric that has a substrate, wherein a biodegradable material is applied to the substrate, a membrane that is coupled with the composite fabric to define an interior cavity, the membrane being semi-permeable, a bioindicator that changes color, form, shape, or texture when exposed to CO2, and an attachment mechanism coupled to a rear side of the composite fabric.

A bioindicator component for determining a level of CO2 in a surrounding environment, comprising:
- a composite fabric that includes a substrate, wherein a biodegradable material is applied to the substrate;
- a membrane that is coupled with the composite fabric to define an interior cavity, the membrane being semi-permeable;
- a bioindicator that changes color, form, shape, or texture when exposed to CO2;
- and
- an attachment mechanism coupled to a rear side of the composite fabric.
A bioindicator assembly for determining a level of CO2 in a surrounding environment, comprising:
- an article;
- and
- a bioindicator component applied to the article, the bioindicator component comprising:
- a composite fabric that includes a substrate, wherein a biodegradable material is applied to the substrate;
- a membrane that is coupled with the composite fabric to define an interior cavity, the membrane being semi-permeable;
- a bioindicator that changes color, form, shape, or texture when exposed to CO2;
- and
- an attachment mechanism coupled to a side of the composite fabric.
A method of utilizing a bioindicator assembly that can determine a threshold level of CO2 in a surrounding environment, comprising:
- removing a bioindicator component from a pouch, the bioindicator component comprising:
- a composite fabric that includes a substrate, wherein a biodegradable material is applied to the substrate,
- a membrane that is coupled with the composite fabric to define an interior cavity, the membrane being semi-permeable,
- a bioindicator that changes color, form, shape, or texture when exposed to CO2, and
- an attachment mechanism coupled to a rear side of the composite fabric;
- applying the bioindicator component to an article via the attachment mechanism along the bioindicator component.
