More reason to reduce C02
Scientists discover higher levels of CO₂ increase survival of viruses in the air and transmission risk

Scientists discover higher levels of CO₂ increase survival of viruses in the air and transmission risk

A new study has revealed for the first time the vital role carbon dioxide (CO2) plays in determining the lifespan of airborne viruses—namely SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It clearly showed keeping CO2 levels in check helps to reduce virus survival, and therefore the risk of infection.
