Might those numbers might be exaggerated a bit due to confounders? Specifically, the high density and traffic causing stress.

- dynm 5y agoIt's entirely possible! But my perspective is that there's a very one-sided risk. It's extremely unlikely that particles are beneficial. Thus, given the uncertainty I think it's good decision theory to run a purifier, especially given how easy it is relative to other lifestyle changes that could plausibly have a benefit of the same magnitude.
