New research has suggested that maintaining low levels of CO2 can help reduce infectious airborne viral loads. While the study primarily focused on the virus responsible for COVID-19, its findings have significant implications for minimizing the risk of transmitting viruses in environments with limited ventilation. According to University of Bristol chemist Allen Haddrell, opening a
