    Partly inspired by @albrgr's tweets, I dug a little more into recent findings on the relationship between air pollution and cognition. The effects seem rather amazingly large: https://patrickcollison.com/pollution .

        Is this all because of CO2? Or do other pollutants also have an effect?

        Small particulate matter ("PM2.5") appears to be the main culprit.

        An interesting tension: to lower CO2, it's easiest to open the windows. To lower PM2.5, it's easiest to close the windows, and filter your inside air. I presume a solution is to have a proper (but likely very expensive?) inlet system that keeps CO2 down & filters PM2.5.

        Plants can lower CO2 and (some) airborne pollution too:https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2016-03-09/how-houseplants-can-help-reduce-indoor-pollution/7230094 …
