In everyday work: Air quality affects productivity
Particulate matter and CO2 levels affect people's performance and productivity.
Harvard University researchers looked at workplaces in six different countries.
Among them were real estate groups, architectural offices and technology groups.
The participants worked in good and bad air conditions, and the results were recorded for about a year.
It turned out that the participants were less concentrated and less productive when the air quality was poor.
So if you notice that you are becoming less concentrated at work, then simply try to change something in your everyday life.
A walk during the break, fresh air or meditation can make a difference.
