You can now borrow a CO2 Monitor from the library!

Aranet 4 Carbon Dioxide MonitorVentilation and carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements are two of many precautions that can be taken to protect yourself and your community from airborne infections. Comparing indoor CO2 readings to the baseline outdoors can give us an idea of how well a space is ventilated with fresh air from outdoors.

 

 

Please note: These devices are not carbon monoxide detectors and are not life safety devices. For more information on carbon monoxide alarms, please see the Fire Safety Education page. 

Borrowing Details

Kit includes: 

  • 1 CO2 monitor
  • 1 quick start guide
  • 1 fact sheet

 

Details: 

  • A valid North Perth Public Library card is required 
  • Must be 18+ years of age
  • Can be borrowed for seven days
  • Can be placed on hold or renewed
  • Replacement fee of $250 applies for lost or damaged kits

 

How to Borrow:

Head to the Listowel Library Branch or to pick up at another branch, place a hold by calling or reserving online. 

 

How to Return:

Bring the monitor back to any NPPL branch

 

 Tips for using the CO2 Monitors
  • Take the device outdoors in an open area away from crowds. After a few minutes, the reading should be between 400 to 450 ppm. This means it is properly calibrated. If it is not properly calibrated, follow the instructions in the user manual. 
  • Always take readings at least two metres away from people's faces or your readings may be artificially high.
  • Readings should be performed when the space is occupied. If you expect 30 people in the room, you'll want to take a reading with 30 people present.
  • You may notice the readings stay steady, rise continuously or cycle from higher to lower values. These patterns provide hints to how the space is ventilated and may guide your troubleshooting to improve ventilation in the space.
