I already shared evidence that CNBSS was improperly randomized but here are some academic papers that show the same. You aren’t leaving this debate because the topic is too complex for me to understand.

The Antarctic ozone hole won't disappear until ~2060-2075, but it's not growing thanks to the Montreal Protocol phasing out ozone-depleting substances. There's a chance recovering from CO₂ emissions will take a similar path but will take much much longer.

[1/2] All that matters is CADR! Ignore things super-hyper-mega HEPA. Often times a filter that only provides 70-80% actually provides more clean air than a filter that is 99.97%(HEPA). I used a 16x20 3M filter taped to a Taotronic AP-003(with no internal HEPA installed) and got a 30% boost in CADR.
