Addressing the Growing Concern of Vaping in Schools

The prevalence of vaping has risen among adolescents and young adults, but regrettably, it is now a mounting worry within educational institutions.

The utilisation of vaping gadgets like e-cigarettes in schools is prohibited and additionally endangers students’ wellbeing and security.

Preventing students from vaping requires a multi-faceted approach involving education, enforcement, and support. Here are some potential strategies:

Education

Educate students about the dangers of vaping through health classes, school assemblies, and other educational programs. Provide them with factual information about the health risks associated with vaping and the addictive nature of nicotine. Encourage them to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Enforcement

Establish clear and consistent rules regarding vaping on school grounds and enforce them rigorously. Use disciplinary measures such as detention or suspension to discourage students from vaping. Consider implementing random locker or bag searches to deter students from bringing vaping devices to school.

Support

Provide resources and support to students who want to quit vaping. This can include counselling, nicotine replacement therapy, or referral to community resources. Encourage students to seek help and provide a safe and supportive environment for them to do so.

Collaboration

Work with parents, community organisations, and local law enforcement to create a comprehensive approach to addressing vaping. This can involve public awareness campaigns, increased regulation of the sale of vaping products, and collaboration with local businesses to discourage the sale of vaping products to minors.

By using a combination of these strategies, in conjunction with Verkada’s Vape Sensor, schools can create a supportive and safe environment that discourages students from vaping and promotes healthy habits.

SV21 temperature measurements are accurate from 23°F – 122°F (-5 -45°C). As with other data streams, users can customise temperature alerts if a space is kept at a temperature outside of the recommended green zone.

verkada-co2

CO₂ measurements capture the absolute level of CO₂ in an environment. At levels of 800ppm or less, CO₂ is harmless. Between 800 and 2000ppm, CO₂ levels can be harmful to health, at levels above 2000ppm, CO₂ can be extremely harmful to human health.

verkada-humidity

Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to what the air can hold at that temperature.

verkada-vape-index

Verkada’s Vape Index is a score derived from multiple sensors that is strongly correlated with vaping and/or smoking activity but could also reflect smoke or fumes from other sources. Smoke from cooking, burning fuel or wildfires may register highly on the Vape Index.

verkada-tvoc

TVOC is a total measure of Volatile Organic Compounds which are chemicals that evaporate into the air and are emitted by cleaners, paints, varnishes, fragrances and hundreds of other products. Examples include benzene, ethylene glycol and formaldehyde. Measure as a TVOC index, VOCs are measured as a group because of their cumulative effects, with high TVOC values associated with negative health impacts.

verkada-noise-level

A measure of total noise level at the sensor. OSHA regulations state that noise levels cannot exceed 90 dBA over an 8-hour period, or 95 dBA over a 4-hour period.

verkada-air-quality

The U.S. AQI measures total air pollution and provides benchmarks for healthy values. When AQI exceeds 100, air quality is unhealthy – at first for certain sensitive groups of people, then for everyone as AQI values get higher.

verkada-pm25

Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) refers to tiny inhalable particles or droplets in the air that are less than 2.5 microns in width. These particles can have negative health effects and are caused by dust, vehicle exhaust, burning fuels, cooking, smoking and vaping.

A measure of changes in infrared light absorption caused by the motion of warm bodies, as measured by a passive infrared sensor. Powered by the same technology as motion sensors for intrusion detection, a motion event indicates human/animal motion or other large changes in infrared activity.

verkada-carbon-monoxide

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odourless, colourless gas that can be deadly. Measured in parts per million (ppm), CO is found in the fumes produced anytime fuel is burned on trucks, engines, stoves, grills or furnaces. Left undetected, CO can build up indoors and poision people or animals who breathe it.

verkada-formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a colourless, flammable gas that is used in many common compounds such as building materials, paints, fertilisers and as a byproduct of combustion from fuel-burning appliances or cigarette smoke. Formaldehyde has a strong odour and can cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose and throat and can cause some types of cancer.

With Verkada Sensors, you can understand light patterns, ensure a safe occupant experience and help improve building energy savings. Measured in lux, Ambient Light readings allow you to see light conditions in real-time and set alerts based on customised thresholds to protect and optimise your spaces.

Barometric pressure, or atmospheric pressure, is a
measure of the weight of air. Measured in hectoPascals
(hPa), barometric pressure is impacted by the outdoor
climate and indoor conditions like running HVAC systems
or temperature.

An audio recording system powered by an omnidirectional
digital microphone that can record up to 365 days of audio
on any SV25 device. Audio recording is disabled by default
and also comes with standard privacy features that ensure
audio recording capabilities are deployed in a way that
respects individuals’ privacy.
