    Nitrogen as a gas (N2) has a triple bond to another nitrogen. Those are the hardest bonds to break. CO2 has strong double bonds to oxygen, but those are easier to break. Bacteria and fungi are able to split nitrogen and supply it to plant roots in exchange for carbon (sugars) in symbiotic relationships.

    Side note, but we’re starting to see the exchange rates of nitrogen and carbon shift, because plants are now absorbing/exchanging so much carbon from the air

    Hypoallergenic is a good word to look for. If the low dust litter is helping, the other comment about filters on vents is definitely something you should try.

    I would also suggest a log of fits, and record when she had them, what she was around, and what she was doing. Allergens are common triggers, but exercise can also trigger an attack on some. Or it might be an unknown variable that will only be obvious from your logged data

    She’s lucky to have someone who is trying so hard to give her a higher quality of life

    I was originally going to suggest low dust litter, but it’s entirely possible it’s a fragrance that is triggering her attacks in close contact with you. Things like laundry detergents and deodorant often have strong scents that even some humans need to avoid
