The objective of this campaign is to donate high quality portable CO2 meters (Aranet4;
http://aranet4.com) to groups and individuals in Southeast Asia (Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Brunei, East Timor, pending confirmation).
See the Twitter thread launching the campaign here:

http://tinyurl.com/faqs-aerosolSo that the CO2 meters can be used to evaluate the state of ventilation in as many locations as possible, ideally sharing the information publicly in social media, blogs, the press etc. (note that the information can be shared semi-anonymously, e.g. "a supermarket in a large city in Thailand" if giving more details could get the person in trouble. Or it can be shared from e.g. a Twitter or Instagram account that's not identifiable, e.g. as done by @CO2Guerrillas in Australia).

The organizers of the campaign (ZeroCOVID Thailand and Prof. Jose L. Jimenez of the Univ of Colorado) do not have any economic relationship with SAFTehnika.
