This uplifts me during a rough week: #Edmonton #PublicLibrary is offering library users CO2 monitors to check out. Everyone can start taking measurements about indoor air quality -- and if it's not great, they can fix it or add air filters or wear better masks.
The library only announced it today and there are already 23 holds for 21 devices. People WANT to measure and improve #IndoorAirQuality, they just need tools + info!

@kdnyhan I'll be very interested in seeing whether the aranet 4 is durable enough to be lent out of a library and come back intact.
@pacquah Well, Peterborough Public Library has been lending out Aranets for months now, going back to March 2022. I haven't heard of any durability issues (and I probably would have - our advocacy group CAVI, Community Access to Ventilation Information, has stayed in touch)

@pacquah And at the individual level, my personal Aranet has survived more than a year with me, and I'm super clumsy 🤦‍♀️
I mean, yes, I have not dropped it in water... yet.... If I do I will regret tempting fate by tooting this!
