Does anyone know if there are less expensive CO2 monitors that are as good as Aranet4?

Care to share recommendations *only if* you have used it personally?

Not a funding source I was familiar with, but always happy to see funding go to passenger #rail in #virginia . #airquality https://infocville.com/2023/09/08/regional-body-signs-off-on-use-of-congestion-funds-for-northeast-regional-amtrak-services/

#COVID19 #COVID cautious folks:

Carrying a CO2 monitor helps me check how safe the #AirQuality in a space is, and lower or raise my cautions accordingly. (Details: https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2023/my-current-covid-risk-approach/#ventilation ) Super useful.

I use and like the #Aranet4 #CO2 monitor. The #Aranet 4 is usually USD$249. It's on sale, direct from the manufacturer, till September 17, for $184.35, with free shipping in the US.

Or from Amazon for $197: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B07YY7BH2W/ref=nosim/0sil8 (Might be today only - Sept 7th.)

Is bad air quality the new normal?

These 3 #airquality scientists say “Yes.”

“People will need to learn to live with #wildfire smoke. It won’t be every year, but we’re likely to see summers like 2023 more often.”

They’ve got a recap and tips for dealing with it.

Aug 29 Firefighters are being poisoned by wildfire smoke. We’re doing little to protect their health (San Francisco Chronicle) - https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2023/firefighter-health/ In the aftermath of blazes ... California passed emergency rules in 2019 requiring employers to provide respiratory protection to farmworkers and others with outdoor jobs on very smoky days. But wildland firefighters were specifically exempted.

“I’ve heard the same conversation and dialogue: We need to study smoke,” #mask #airquality😷

Crud. I didn’t have “yes, the weather cooled down but no, you can’t do anything much outside today” on my bingo card. Even with a good mask on it’s not nice being out there. It should shift tonight, though. #AQI #AirQuality #Weather #Health #SmokeMap #Wildfires

I wasn't the only one who moved into Montana... the wildfire smoke from Canada did, too! Stay safe and healthy on Tuesday!

What #AirQuality #Sensors are people using for their #SmartHomes running #Thread, #Matter, and #homekit ?

I have #OctoPrint and a #3dPrinter and among other maker projects running and I would like to make sure I am properly tracking Air Quality throughout the house. #VOC #CO2 #PPM , etc... I even saw a Formaldehyde sensor. But it's so very hard to find sensors that work with homekit / thread / matter.

#Edmonton once again having a completely normal one ✌🏼

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its ventilation guidance this May, urging building owners and operators to adopt practices that reduce the spread of viral particles. Though these recommendations are perhaps most relevant to schools, hospitals, and group residential or care facilities, homeowners could learn from their advice too."

We've been extremely lucky to have had a mostly mild and smoke-free summer here in NorCal, but it appears that "Purple Air" season is finally upon us.

Hopefully it's a short one.
