A growing body of research indicates there are potentially large health benefits to improving indoor air quality. Indoor spaces are often poorly ventilated and expose occupants to high levels of contaminants, such as pathogens, particulates, and other pollutants. Because people spend nearly all their time indoors, improving indoor air quality would hugely benefit public health.

    We need more research on how CO2 affects cognition

    •  Improving indoor air quality can provide health benefits. 

•  Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the indoor air pollutants. 

•  CO2 can have a negative impact on cognition. 

•  The review of studies on the effects of CO2 on cognition is mixed. 

•  Some studies show a negative impact, others do not. 

•  The effect of CO2 on performance may be related to other environmental factors. 

•  More research is needed to determine the exact effect of CO2 on cognition.
