doi.org/10.1111/ina.12284 · Finding checked against 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
Pure CO2 added up to 3,000 ppm had no significant effect on perceived air quality, symptoms or cognitive performance. When CO2 reached 3,000 ppm through human bioeffluents, symptoms rose and performance fell.
Design questions and applications
Treat CO2 as a marker of ventilation, not the target itself.
Field
Air and ventilation
Notes and follow-up
Added from the Corpus Desk (card zhang-2017-co2-null) on 2026-11-09; the card finding was rewritten from the abstract. Evidence strength and translation distance not yet rated. WELL label held for review.
