Borrow a CO2 Monitor to Measure Your Air Quality
What is a carbon dioxide monitor?
CO2 Monitors measure the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in an area to give an indication of how well ventilated it is. Knowing the CO2 level can help you identify if you need to take steps to improve ventilation or remove pollutants in your space. Good air quality can help lower the risk of airborne infections as well as support our general well-being.
| Please note: These devices are not carbon monoxide detectors and are not life safety devices. |
