carbon monoxide exposure


Explanation:
Lacking further context of the full text, I would suggest the following. "Measurment of the individual carbon monoxide exposure." It follows that the degree of exposure would be reflected in blood carboxyhemoglobin levels.
Thus, the level of exposure is proportional to the blood carboxyhemoglobin levels.

Example sentence(s):
  • Die Messung der individuellen Kohlenmonoxidbelastung erfolgt laborchemisch durch die Bestimmung des Carboxyhämoglobinwertes.\
  • The Measurment of the individual carbon monoxide exposure is obtained using carboxyhemoglobin blood levels.

carbon monoxide exposure level


Explanation:
Sorry, just noticed that

"This is an item in a list of activities offered to participants at a lung diseases specialist trade fair."

So, for that fun activity, I would imagine the carny calling out "Come one, come all! Free assessment of your personal carbon monoxide exposure level."
