Hi all.

I need some help with an accurate air quality meter.

My neighbour is unwilling to address his burning of wet wood in his log burner which results in horrendous fumes engulfing my house. You can imagine how grim and detrimental it is to my health.

Any recommendations for an air quality meter? I'm sure we must have air quality specialists here...

Thank you.

I've had one of these in my workshop for a year and it's been a good indication of when I should mask up.
Edit:
Plus maybe report it to environmental health.

I'm amazed they don't have a why does east hull smell of death in their FAQs or have the cocoa and acetic acid factories closed

I’ve had the Amazon one for a while, it’s on offer for £40 at the moment…

It dislikes pepperoni pizza and Kubota mini diggers, doesn’t mind our stove if I light it and close the door immediately.

If it is any consolation if he keeps burning wet wood he’s much more likely to get a chimney fire….

Stoneferry Rd, near the MKM always had a foul smell from the cocoa factories when I went there, made your eyes water

Don't know how the locals could handle it on a daily basis, suppose they get used to it
