“Study: carbon Dioxide can make us dumber”
“the Increased carbon dioxide emissions can, among other things, affect memory and concentration negatively, according to a new british study.”
“In a new study from the University College London shows a correlation between climate change and the brain’s well-being, reports The Independent. If employees are exposed to a high content of carbon dioxide due to poor ventilation, it is less of a chance that they manage their data. Now show that the problem may affect more with the increase of the number of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.”
“It is in the latest edition of the Building Services Engineering Research & Technology Robert Lowe, Gesche Huebner and Tadj Oreszczyn to publish their research. It shows that ”people’s cognitive performance deteriorates when the level of carbon dioxide increases”. Further, they write that if emissions continue to increase at the same rate as can the consequences as poorer memory and concentration will be inevitable. The researchers believe that new types of ventilation systems can be a way to tackle the problem in the future.”
“In april earlier in the year measured for the first time, an average carbon dioxide content of over 410 ppm (parts per million) in the atmosphere. It is the highest figure measured in 800 000 years.”
