We know that indoor air quality is improved with good ventilation, but we can not tell if a space is well ventilated just by looking at it. With CO2 monitors, you can better understand how much of the air you are breathing in was exhaled by other people.

Most people do not own CO2 monitors and do not know how to interpret CO2 readings. Libraries can solve both problems by offering patrons CO2 monitors and curated information packets.

This website collates information you can use to help your library set up a CO2 monitor lending program that empowers community members to understand and help to mitigate the potential risks of: airborne transmission of pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), high levels of CO2, and other pollutants that may be found in indoor air.
