Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is one of the most important gases considered pollutants. For this reason, the generation of information that contributes to the characterization of the environmental footprint generated in urban areas and in representative animal production systems is a priority. Thus, the objective was to compare the fluctuation of the existing CO2 level at man height, in an urban/capital area and in four typical Paraguayan models of animal production: intensive and semi-intensive dairy cattle, broiler chickens (intensive fattening) and rearing/rearing/fattening of pigs (intensive), globally and stratified into time slots. To do this, “IoT” (Internet of Things) technology was used, from a Smart Environment Libelilum® device, which obtained CO2 readings and meteorological variables, transmitting them in real time to a digital platform. Globally, the highest average of parts per million (ppm) of CO2 was observed in the broiler chicken system (512.77 ppm), followed by the urban area (372.94 ppm) and in last position, the shed of semi-intensive bovine production (296.36 ppm), detecting significant differences between groups (p<0.05). The same behavior was found in the time slots; except in some intervals (from 00:00 to 06:00 and from 18:00 to 00:00; p>0.05). The concentration of CO2 in the air measured in the environment of bovine, pig and broiler milk production systems showed generally low values, which in most cases even compared favorably with that measured outdoors in the environment urban.
