How does CO₂ affect concentration and learning?

Have you ever wondered how the air quality in a room can affect our concentration and learning ability? According to research, high CO₂ levels can have a significant impact on our performance and well-being. In this blog article, we will take a closer look at how CO₂ affects concentration and learning, and what we can do to create a healthier indoor climate.

Research shows that indoor climate is of great importance

According to a study from Videnskab.dk , poor indoor air quality can increase the risk of learning problems. This may be due, among other things, to high levels of CO₂ in the air, which can have a negative effect on our ability to focus and learn new things. Research shows that CO₂ in the classroom can affect students' concentration and performance. A report from SBI.dk also points out that CO₂ levels in schools can have a direct impact on students' learning.

Focus on CO₂ and well-being in Danish schools

In Danish schools, the focus on indoor climate and CO₂ levels has been strengthened in recent years. Studies show that a good indoor climate with optimal CO₂ levels can have a positive effect on students' well-being and performance. Therefore, it is important to focus on the importance of indoor climate, especially when it comes to learning and concentration.
