Seeing that hantavirus is a very popular topic right now, and popularity also means that misinformation spreads like wildfire, we did an interview with Dr. Sanjaya Senanayake, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Australian National University and Infectious Diseases Physician in Canberra, focusing on facts, context and public understanding rather than fear.
Hope you get something useful out of it!

We did some digging into whether houseplants can actually lower CO₂ indoors.

Short version: they do absorb CO₂, but in typical home conditions (limited light, normal number of plants), the effect is very small. A lot of the “plants clean your air” idea comes from studies that don’t really reflect real living spaces.

From what we found, ventilation still makes the biggest difference by far.

We put together a blog article here if anyone’s curious:

Would be interesting to hear if anyone here has measured CO₂ changes with plants in the room.
