We’re pleased to be partnering with Oxfordshire County Council’s public health team to offer an air quality monitor for hire.
This fascinating bit of kit helps you understand how your day-to-day activity affects air quality in your home. See how much difference your extractor hood makes on particulates when cooking; notice the volatile compounds from aerosol deodorant vs roll-on; check how dusting and vacuuming affects the air or changes when you open the windows, and much more. Read this council guidance for tips on how you can use the monitor as well as other locations in Abingdon, Banbury and Wantage where you can hire a monitor.
Let’s do some citizen science
The council team are asking that you fill in a “before” and “after” survey to help them understand if these monitors are useful and what you learned in the experiment.
Thank you to everyone who’s interested to take part in this pilot. We hope you find this an interesting way to learn more about your home and lifestyle.
