“An emerging body of research is indicating that the high levels of carbon dioxide and other indoor pollutants that we face in poorly ventilated rooms reduces our cognitive performance and decision-making ability.”
“A study published in 2012 by researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that levels of carbon dioxide commonly found in crowded rooms decreased people's performance on decision-making tests, and ongoing work at that and other labs has found that many other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — emitted in slight quantities by building materials and even personal care products — also play a role.”
