Air quality tests
Dear Leicester City Council,
Please can you provide me with copies of any and all air quality test results which have been carried out within Council occupied buildings (excluding residential), since the beginning of September 2018.
This should include either tests carried out by internally employed staff, or tests carried out by external companies/contractors.
This does not include external street air quality tests.
Please let me know if you require further clarification on the term air quality tests (for example, this would include for things like the presence of mould or spores, gas concentrations such as carbon dioxide or monoxide and relative humidity).
This would include council office that are directly owned by the council and those which are rented
Yours faithfully,
Jake Donaldson
