I've had problems with some apartments where I had to have at least one window open 24/7 to keep the CO2 under 800ppm which is double the outside value. I feel a little unfocused at that level (standards say that starts at 1000ppm, I think I may be a little worse off with a broken nose).
Levels of CO2 which have detectable effects are easy to attain in a well sealed home. Levels which will result in a medical emergency (tens of thousands of ppm) are very hard to reach unless your house is sealed like a submarine.
I connected the dots at an office from a few years back about why I couldn't get anything done after lunch. CO2 levels were near outside numbers first thing in the morning and >1500ppm in the afternoon because HVAC was poorly done.
