Radan Testing Kits available. Patrons can now place holds and check out a Radon Kit for three weeks! Radon can pose a serious health risk, so according to the Lung Association, it is important for people to test their home. These screening kits run a short term test that can help users determine if radon is a risk in their home, and if they should pursue further testing. Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas emitted naturally from the ground and can get into a house through basement floors, concrete cracks, wall joints or other openings. The gas is invisible, tasteless and odourless and if it tests at high levels it can be dangerous - increasing your risk of developing lung cancer. Each kit contains an electronic device called Corentium Home which detects home radon levels. Complete with instruction manual, this device is easy to set up and use. Available now at the Stavely Library now until April 30th

 

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Monitor now at the Stavely library available for a one-week loan period. Aranet4 HOME sensor is an innovative air quality monitor that measures CO2 level, temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure. The device is suitable for monitoring the CO2 level at home, in school, office, or any other indoor environment. Reserve your hold on the library website: https://stavely.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3302320 or contacting the library.
