Is there a possible catch 22 here..

If the percentage of air recirculated is too high then oxygen levels might get too low, CO2 levels too high and that might increase the risk of fainting.

If on the other hand too much fresh air is introduced and not enough is recirculated then the humidity falls and that might increase the risk of nose bleeds.

..just my opinion. I'm not a pro pilot.
