There is biological plausibility for an association of health outcomes with ventilation rates, although the literature does not provide clear evidence on particular agent(s) for the effects. Higher ventilation rates in offices, up to about 25 l/s per person, are associated with reduced prevalence of sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms. “}}

My Neighbors Smoke Weed All Day, and It’s Stinking Up the Joint – The New York Times

Q: I am a shareholder in a northern Manhattan co-op. New neighbors have moved in and they smoke marijuana all day, starting early in the morning. The smell is very strong, permeates the hallways, and makes its way into my unit, which is down the hall and around the corner. I know they have a right to smoke in their apartment, but the smell is difficult to tolerate….

A: You can certainly write a letter to your neighbors, asking them to better ventilate their unit. But that might not solve the problem….

You can try to protect your apartment by adding weatherstripping to your door and using an under-door draft stopper, said Mark Foley, president of the Folson Group, a business consultant for condo and co-op buildings. You could also offer to install these things for your neighbors’ door, he said.
