Is Conference Room Air Making Us Dumber?
I own a CO2 monitor and it is shocking how high it can get in a house with two people just existing. 800 ppm or more.  Outside air is 410.In a car with air on recirculate, it was getting to >1220 ppm, a level that impairs decision making and lowers brain function.  I try to drive with air on fresh from now on.I don’t doubt the air in our conference room with 20 people gets super high in CO2 as the meeting goes on, and that would explain a lot of the horrible decisions and thought processes that happen in there. :) I’m going to bring my meter to the next meeting and see what it gets to.  We are a group of scientists so it won’t be awkward or weird.  If nothing else it will spark discussion and reflection on the decisions that are made there.
