Air quality is taonga and is essential to human health and wellbeing. While outdoor air quality will always influence indoor air quality levels, the vast amount of our daily over-exposure to carbon dioxide (CO₂) unwittingly occurs in poorly ventilated indoor environments.

The good news is that you can now borrow CO₂ meters from the library for free to help you monitor your indoor air quality levels. Have a read below to find out more about this service!

How does it work?

• CO₂ meters are free to borrow
• You can borrow one CO₂ meter at a time for 10 days
• CO₂ meters can’t be renewed
• CO₂ meters can be picked up in person or reserved online through the catalogue. To reserve, choose your preferred branch and when it’s ready to collect, pick it up from a librarian at the library desk
• Please return your CO₂ monitor directly to a librarian to avoid damage in the returns chute

Reserve a CO₂ meter now!
