    What problem would you like to solve?

    Poor air quality in CD 7

    Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?


    What idea do you have to address the problem?

    So that people could: address an important safety issue by assessing how well ventilated the indoor spaces are that they use. Indoor air quality is improved with good ventilation, but we can't judge how well ventilated a space is just by looking at it. Carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up in indoor air if ventilation is poor. CO2 monitors help indicate how much air you breathe was exhaled by other people. Most people don't own CO2 monitors & don't know how to interpret CO2 readings. Libraries can solve both problems by offering patrons CO2 monitors & curated info. packets. If our public libraries set up a lending library program for CO2 monitors, as is now done in a growing number of places across N. America, NYers could bring a CO2 monitor to their homes, local supermarket, worksite, temple, auditorium & more, empowering us to better understand the quality of our indoor air & address risks of airborne transmission of any pathogens. Monitors are small, so wouldn't need much library space.

    Who would that help?
