S01E09 - Cognition: How Indoor Air Quality Impacts Your Brain

In this episode of Moose Tales, Jon from Two Moose Home Inspections delves into the often-overlooked aspect of indoor air quality. He starts by breaking down the composition of the air we breathe, emphasizing the dangers of having too much oxygen or nitrogen. While outside air typically has around 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide, indoor environments can easily reach 2500 parts per million. Jon explains a Harvard study that reveals a 2% decline in cognition for every 500 parts per million increase in carbon dioxide, highlighting the impact of indoor air quality on our well-being.
The podcast then connects the importance of air quality, emphasizing the need for tight houses with controlled ventilation. Jon advocates for mechanical ventilation systems like ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators) and HRVs (Heat Recovery Ventilators) to filter outside air, maintaining optimal levels of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. He discusses how these systems contribute to better indoor air quality and overall cognition. Additionally, Jon warns against using ozone machines and emphasizes the negative effects of PM 2.5 particles, setting the stage for future discussions on these topics.
