Consequences of Carbon Dioxide Levels (04-24-20)
Researchers continue to investigate the effects of carbon dioxide levels on human thinking and behavior.

The cognitive science research is clear – using natural elements (for example, materials, sounds, light, plants, fresh air, and water) in interior spaces has positive consequences for how people think and behave. What scientists have learned about nature-based experiences can inform design that enhances wellbeing and cognitive performance and encourages worthwhile life experiences.
A press release from Drexel indicates that plants may not be as effective at cleaning indoor air as thought.
Research conducted at the University of California, Davis, indicates that the temperature and air quality in K-12 classrooms may be degrading students’ ability to learn.
Brain performance affected by amount
Most of us are breathing most of the time. The characteristics of the air that we pull into our lungs have implications for our mental wellbeing as well as our physical condition. In this article, we’ll review how scents, ventilation, and temperature influence human lives.
Ventilation and wellbeing tightly linked
Obayashi and teammates studied how airflow and concentration are related.
Design, productivity links
Research by Sass and her colleagues reveals that air pollution degrades the mental health of the people who experience it.
