🤔 figured I should check our CO2 levels since we have a gas range. Ambient without cooking is in the 600s, vs 400s outdoors. We'll see how effective the exhaust is.
Looking up old studies shows how alarming elevated levels are:
"Harvard researchers ... found significant negative impact at 930 ppm."
"They found that, on average, a typical participant’s cognitive scores dropped 21 percent with a 400 ppm increase in CO2."
Following on the #gasstoves and #indoorpollution discourse, we wondered where our range hood vents out to ... and it's right back into the kitchen. 🤦 We just moved house and we brought our electric induction stove with us, but we've been living like this for months! And the previous homeowners lived like this for years!
Not sure who to credit for this one
Maybe the EPA?
