Office air quality affects workers' cognitive function, study shows

This needed a study? Surely air quality effects have been known for decades now.

The much bigger problem is, that nowadays we already need Harvard to find out such obvious knowledge. lol I guess, in some years from now, all famous universities together will after a decade long research efforts publish a first study, that 1+1 might likely result in something between 1 and 3, but another 100 years research would probably be necessary to refine those groundbreaking quantum computed results.

If you can't measure it you can't manage it. Knowing what indoor air pollutants affect what and where these pollutants come from are essential to knowing what to do to improve the work environment.

One of the things I noticed immediately when Covid-19 forces us to work from home was how much better I could breathe. The air in my old office was not good. Every time someone used the commode across the hall my office mate and I knew all about it :/ Grim.

Windows don’t open in most sky scrapers

I have worked in two different offices where I was nodding off in the afternoon. One had windows that could open, and after we opened them, it was so much better.

Companies would do well to install great ventilation systems, it makes so much sense from a productivity point of view.
