[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Covid conscience but  this just sounds over the top. Are you measuring at your house? When your kids go to birthday parties or indoor activities? At the doctors office or a restaurant?  MCPS has done more for air quality than the CDC recommends for schools. [/quote]

Yes, we used the CO2 monitor in our house to figure out how to adjust our ventilation in ways that reduced rebreathed fraction (and CO2 from our gas stove—that was fascinating, we’ll probably electrify sooner than later). Yes, we also take it with us to public places and measure the CO2 to give us a thumbnail estimate of air quality. This includes doctor’s offices. As you will no doubt guess, we don’t eat in restaurants currently.

TBH I don’t think really understand why someone would not want to know these things about the world around them. It’s also great science learning! Have a nice day.[/quote]

You could also bring a little microscope around with you and start scraping all the door handles you encounter to see the bacterial load before gaining access to your destination  but in the end, you're still neurotic.[/quote]
