“In a subset of studies that meet objective criteria for strength and consistency, pure CO2 at a concentration common in indoor environments was only found to affect high-level decision-making measured by the Strategic Management Simulation battery in non-specialized populations, while lower ventilation and accumulation of indoor pollutants, including CO2, could reduce the speed of various functions but leave accuracy unaffected.”
I haven’t been especially impressed by claims that normal indoor CO2 levels are impairing cognitive function to any extent worth worrying about. Crack a window, I guess?
