420ppm seems to ignore how bad it actually is for a lot of humans.

A lot of buildings have over 1000ppm of CO2 due to being poorly ventilated, levels where humans start to have noticeable cognitive decline.

Spending so much time at home post COVID I got an indoor air monitor to tell me when to open the windows. 2-3 days of not ventilating will get it over 1000ppm
