Invisible danger: How the air-Q detects gases and provides early warning

Why gases pose a risk

Many hazardous gases are colorless and odorless - we do not perceive them, although they can be right around us. They are produced, for example, by

• Heating appliances or stoves (carbon monoxide)
  
  
• Traffic and industry (nitrogen dioxide, ozone)
  
  
• Furniture, paints and cleaning agents (VOC)
  
  
• Ground radiation(radon)

The consequences range from irritation and chronic illness to acute poisoning. This makes it all the more important to keep an eye on these substances not just selectively, but permanently.

The air-Q recognizes what others do not see

With its high-precision sensor technology, the air-Q - similar to a pellistor - detects a variety of gaseous substances and warns in good time before it becomes critical.

The air-Q analyzes the room air in real time - around the clock. Thanks to a large number of integrated sensors, the device detects more than 14 air components, including:

• Carbon monoxide (CO) - toxic and potentially fatal
  
  
• Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) - irritant gas from exhaust fumes
  
  
• Ozone (O₃) - oxidative, harmful to lungs and materials
  
  
• VOC (volatile organic compounds) - e.g. formaldehyde
  
  
• particulates (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10) - deeply inhalable particles

The measured values are stored in the air-Q app and in the web portal at any time - supplemented by limit value comparisons, progression graphs and recommendations for action.

Smart alarms - intelligent protection for people and property

What makes the air-Q special is not only the large number of gases it detects, but also its ability to trigger intelligent warnings. This means

• Automatic alarms when limit values are exceeded
  
  
• Adjustable threshold values depending on the environment
  
  
• Warning via app, e-mail or acoustic signal
  
  
• Integration into building automation systems or security infrastructure
  

Especially in companies and industrial environments, the air-Q can be used as an early warning system in the event of gas leaks, production fumes or ventilation problems. It also protects private households from creeping health risks or costly long-term damage to furnishings and building fabric thanks to its real-time monitoring.

Radon: The underestimated danger from the ground

Radon is a particularly treacherous gas. It seeps into buildings from the ground through cracks and leaks - and is radioactive. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), radon is the second most common cause of lung cancer after smoking.

The air-Q Radon was specially developed to monitor radon levels permanently and precisely - without the need for a laboratory or long-term evaluation. This allows dangerous levels to be detected quickly and targeted measures to be taken, such as ventilation or structural sealing.

Conclusion: A head start through knowledge - with the air-Q

Whether for private households, companies or public institutions: The air-Q makes dangerous gases visible - and controllable. Its precise sensor technology and intelligent alarm functions make it a genuine early warning system for the air we breathe every day. It not only protects health and lives, but also assets and property.
