You can also investigate other pollutants such as carbon monoxide and
sulfur dioxide. The AirWatch kit also provides information about other
issues such as smoky vehicles, public transport, car usage, and woodheaters.
Through AirWatch you can help to improve the air quality in your local
area. Check out the AirWatch web site to find the local contacts in your
