Laurent JGC et al. Environmental Research Letters. 2021.
doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ac1bd8 · Finding drafted from the abstract
Source details checked refers to publication information or an official source page. See the record’s limitations for incomplete extraction and the method for how to read the labels.
What the source reports
In about 300 workers across six countries over a year, higher indoor PM2.5 and CO2 were associated with slower and less accurate responses on cognitive tests.
Limitations
Observational; effects are small per test.
Design questions and applications
Use better filtration and ventilate above minimum targets in offices.
Field
Air and ventilation
