Run the monthly filter and vent-wipe round in invited San Ysidro homes (2026-07-19)

San Ysidro homes sit beside the busiest land border crossing in the western hemisphere, breathing idling-vehicle exhaust, and many also catch odor intrusion from the river valley. Fresh filters and clean intakes every month are the immediate, affordable defense for indoor air. Standard: EPA indoor air filtration guidance — SDG 3. Proof: Old/new filter photos per home Method (EPA indoor air filtration guidance — SDG 3.): 1. Confirm invitations and record filter sizes on the first visit. 2. Replace or wash all furnace, window-unit, and portable-cleaner filters. 3. Wipe intake grilles and confirm bathroom and kitchen vents actually pull air. 4. Photograph old and new filters side by side per home with GPS and date. Done when: Old/new filter photos per home

Pay

$180 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Old/new filter photos per home

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: ASHRAE 62.1 + EPA IAQ / moisture baseline

Bring

• CO2 monitor
• PM2.5 monitor
• temp/RH meter
• moisture meter (mold/moisture scope)
• GPS/address
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the room/unit and address; coordinate to sample during normal occupancy where relevant.
2. 2. Photograph the space and any staining/damp/mold.
3. 3. Place the monitor in the occupied zone; log CO2 over >=1 occupied hour.
4. 4. Record PM2.5, temperature, and relative humidity.
5. 5. For moisture/mold scope, take moisture-meter readings at affected vs baseline areas and estimate visible mold area.
6. 6. Note ventilation type and any obvious deficiencies.
7. 7. Enter the logs, readings, extent notes, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Carbon monoxide > 9 ppm sustained in an occupied space, or any audible CO alarm -> STOP: life-safety hazard. Evacuate, ventilate, and call the gas utility / fire department now. The agent escalates immediately, never sources the leak (NIOSH/ASHRAE CO).
• CO2 sustained > 2000 ppm in an occupied space -> flag acute under-ventilation: recommend increasing outdoor air and reducing occupancy immediately and report to the facility manager (well above the 1000 ppm ASHRAE 62.1 comfort flag).
• CO2 sustained > 1000 ppm -> flag under-ventilation vs ASHRAE 62.1.
• PM2.5 > 35 ug/m3 (24-hr, EPA NAAQS) -> flag elevated particulate; > 55 ug/m3 -> recommend occupants limit exposure / use filtration now.
• Visible mold > 10 sq ft OR active water intrusion -> document only, do not disturb; route to a licensed remediation pro (EPA mold guidance); occupants with respiratory symptoms routed to relocate.

What counts as done

• CO2 logged over >=1 occupied hour
• PM2.5, temperature, and RH recorded
• Moisture readings + visible-mold extent recorded (moisture scope)
• Timestamped photos + address confirm

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
