We found the frequency of the notifications was a driver for setting the thresholds for the values. Cleaning products were never and issue in terms of values recorded. If these values are so high as to trigger notifications then the Cleaning products could potentially be incorrectly used risking the health of staff! Our use case for the MT14 was in the Changing rooms of a School Sport facility, used by Secondary aged Pupils 11yrs - 16yrs Because this was a closed room the values would peak in an instant. Being a closed space, with what appeared to be little ventilation the PM would linger and go down very very slowly. As the threshold for the notifcations was in constant breach, they would receive spam like amounts. Therefore we set the values a little higher, and the time between them a little more. The problem was such, they have now decided to remove them, as they are understaffed and cannot manage the false accounts of vaping, and the number of triggered events. This however is only going to be detrimental to the health of pupils vaping. Education in the risks of using such devices is ultimately where this needs to go.
