> In this study, a systematic review and meta-analysis of fifteen eligible studies was performed to quantify the effects of short-term CO2 exposure on cognitive task performance.

> The complex task performance declined significantly when exposed to additional CO2 concentrations of 1000–1500 ppm and 1500–3000 ppm

It looks like there might be a very small effect starting at around 1000ppm but so small that many studies find no difference at all, and reliable effects are only noted at 3000ppm or more.

So we're a long way from needing to scrub co2 from the atmosphere to get any work done

  • Not from atmosphere but we need good ventilation. Over 2000ppm in offices is very common.
