The effect seems to kick in at around 1,000 ppm of CO2. The last time this came up I bought a CO2 meter for my office. I was quite surprised how often it went over 1,000.

Where please? What model.
One of these days I'm going to have to rig up something to start the house fan when the CO2 goes above 800 ppm and I think you'd need a different sensor with a realtime output port for something like that.

How do you all monitor air quality? I personally have a couple of devices (an Awair and a Flow). They seem to under-report PM2.5 compared to purpleair, airnow, and waqi.
Do you act on this information? Is there really much you can do to mitigate the effects?

I'm not the OP, but I use this one with similar results: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01FYWU2IS One of these days I'm going to have to rig up something to start the house fan when the CO2 goes above 800 ppm and I think you'd need a different sensor with a realtime output port for something like that.

As soon as i arrived back in the city, motivated to do my work, my brain slowly decayed back into the dumbness that every city shines on you.I felt like with every breath i was losing track of time and slowing down into monotony. Obviously there is bias & other psychological effects at play, but the quality of air(besides water) should be the upmost priority in a person's life.
This is very much true and common sense as people should recognize how their environments affects them.Our daily constraints often make us not be aware of our bodies and trap us in our heads, which is very dangerous.
Reading his bullet points, I am not sure why the correlation between daily stock market returns and air quality supports the argument that air pollution reduces IQ.
I came here for a girl. I'm leaving because of pollution. The city is amazing in its own right, but I feel like I'm breathing lung cancer.
