I just now found a different article on an analysis of Lombard Italy with similar findings. I’ll keep looking for the French Zip codes research.

There is a recent IPF study looking at particulate matter by French zip codes. It did find that dirtier air was associated with more rapid declines. So, with that in mind, I think it does help a little to change your house air filter often enough to improve air quality. It probably also helps to use the house fan or AC instead of opening windows when air quality is bad. Staying indoors on bad air quality days may also help. There are web sites that report various air quality indexes by region, state/province, or city. Those are helpful.

Some basics to help incude:
1. Try to stay a few feet from other people.
2. Would not buy prepared meals (away from home or delivery). Cook your own food.
3.Recognize this as not much different than risk of a respiratory based flu.
4. Ebike or drive. Steer clear of public transit including air travel.
5. Really steer clear of people in health care buildings. Wear a mask.
6. Wash hands. Sanitize.
7. Sanitize home.
8. Spouse or others in house must also be vigilant.
9. Play cards and games online, not face to face.

Hi Charlene thanks for your hard work.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Curious if you have any citations of science backing up these claims/issues?Here are some of my other questions:</p>
-How different are various foods in terms of co2 production? Do you have something akin to a calorie chart?-is all of the co2 expelled through the lungs? If not, then where/how does it end up?
-how long does it take to expell co2 after a typical meal?
-why is this dangerous? Sould we up the oxygen intake after a meal to manage the danger?
To me, the nutrition recommendation has look/feel of most any healthy eating plan: more fruits and veggies, less simple carbs including much less processed sugar, moderation of meats, and use heart-healthy fats like olive and canola oil. Is there anything else to think about that goes beyond the basic healthy eating plan that we should be aware of?
Thanks
