For Your Healthy Air
How to find out if your indoor air could be putting you at risk
"Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced."
-- Søren Kierkegaard
"Vitalight" is a common branding name for a mini CO2 monitor often found on Amazon. "Donate A Mask" in Canada offers these rebranded simple but useful** sensors to the US [and the UK/EU] -- their proceeds go to providing free masks & rapid tests to vulnerable people in Canada. The cost is higher than on some sites, so feel free to price shop.

​​​​Compared to other monitors
-
Pro's: Less expensive, easy to see CO2 level, relatively small, has a sturdy carrying hook/carabiner
-
** Con's: Uses auto-calibration which requires careful attention - please read the specifications document linked below (some well-informed air quality advocates call this a deal-breaker).
Also must use USB charger that comes with unit (this was not found by all users however). No display for time, date, temp, or humidity; no app or cloud for saving/tracking data
