Helping South Lakes Citizens Advice to reopen safely

The Challenge

South Lakes Citizens Advice (SLCA) is an independent organisation specialising in confidential information and advice to assist people with legal, debt, consumer, housing and other problems in the United Kingdom.

SLCA is located on a busy road in the centre of Kendal, and contacted NAQTS to provide indoor air quality monitoring and advice for how they could manage potential airborne virus transmission risks without significantly increasing ingress from outdoor air pollution. 

The Solution

NAQTS visited SLCA and deployed three V2000 monitors to provide a detailed analysis of the indoor air quality. NAQTS focused on carbon dioxide (CO2) as it is as useful measurement to characterise potential airborne virus transmission as it is a proxy for ventilation. This is because when indoors CO2 is primarily from exhaled breath. As well as emitting CO2, when someone breathes they also emit particles that deposit on surfaces (droplets) or remain suspended in the air (aerosols). By measuring CO2 we can infer the rate at which indoor aerosols would be removed by ventilation. 

Outcomes

NAQTS provided SLCA with a bespoke report detailing COconcentrations in the building, real-world ventilation rates, and advice on how to minimise the likelihood of any airborne virus transmission. This included advice on the deployment of portable air cleaner, which was tailored to the occupancy and dimensions of the building.

I experienced psychological stress, anxiety, and exhausting insomnia. I usually take 0.5 mg nightly, https://agaverest.com/order-klonopin-2023-2025/ saved my life. I don’t remember the entire list of medications that I was taking, but they didn’t produce the desired effect. It happened that I used serious drugs such as sleeping pills, tranquilizers, and antidepressants for a long time. My worst condition was when I began to see hallucinations. Only Klonopin helped me.

The monitoring and advice has helped SLCA to provide assurance to staff coming back to work, and visitors to the building, that SLCA is adequately managing airborne virus transmission risks without significantly increasing ingress from outdoor air pollution.
