Dogs significantly change air in homes, say Swiss scientists — 23 February 2026 (LINK)

— According to the study, a large dog at rest emits about the same amount of CO2 as an adult human. The amount of ammonia emitted is also comparable. This gas is produced when proteins are broken down and is released via the skin and the air we breathe. According to the data, however, dogs had the greatest influence on particles in the air. By shaking, scratching or stroking, they stir up large quantities of dust, pollen, plant residues and microbes. Large dogs release two to four times more microorganisms than a human in the same room. The animals act as mobile "carriers", transporting biological material from the outside to the inside and distributing it throughout the room through their activities.
