> "I don’t measure or actively mitigate carbon dioxide; however, we do run particulate filters 24/7."

this is the right order of concern. pollution (particulate matter) is much more damaging to our tissues than CO₂, which is basically inert in comparison (e.g., people die of smoking, not working in a stuffy office). life evolved alongside CO₂, but not so much alongside NOₓ, SOₓ, CFC/HFCs, dioxins, and the like. but in every thread about air quality, the majority of the discussion is on CO₂. the mediopolitical narrative is driving hard in this direction, to our detriment, as plainly evident here.
