Article note: We should be doing this anyway, we chronically under-ventilate spaces, but if the fact that COVID-19 preys on our badly engineered indoor environments is what will get it changed, let's go. \r\n\r\nEvery meeting room should be equipped with a CO2 detector that shows the current level in ppm and alerts \"Effectively drunk\" somewhere around 1000-1200ppm.\r\n\r\nAnd, of course, this is the highly effective mitigation everyone has been ignoring because it requires institutions spend money to fix.<\/div>

One of the things we’ve learned over the past year is to be wary of the air around us — especially indoors. If other people are around, exhaling, they’re filling the space with their breath. If one of those people has COVID-19, they could be filling the space with infectious<\/em> breath. <\/p>\n

There’s a way to make indoor spaces safer, though: improving the ventilation to make sure the air doesn’t stay trapped. That way, any potentially infectious particles <\/strong>quickly gust away, instead of lingering for someone else to breathe in. <\/p>\n

Experts say one way to measure<\/a> how well-ventilated certain spaces are is by checking how much carbon dioxide is in the air. People exhale carbon dioxide, so the amount of it in a room gives you an idea <\/strong>of <\/strong>how much of the...<\/p>\n
