In our blog, we inform you about interesting facts about indoor air and air quality.

Our passion is air - in the truest sense of the word. In our air quality blog, we write for you about current topics related to breathing air, indoor air and sensors and air quality. For example, we classify the results of new studies on the health effects of polluted indoor air or provide information on limit values. In addition, we also work on our own studies with real-time data from our own air measuring device air-Q. The blog is therefore a guidebook, reference work and important source of information for well-founded facts about air quality.

Carbon monoxide poisoning: How can I minimise the danger?

Carbon monoxide is a treacherous gas because it is colourless and odourless. The trend towards wood-burning stoves and heavily insulated homes increases the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. The article shows causes, symptoms and therapies - and introduces the CO alarm and air analyser air-Q.

Nitrogen oxides: How they are formed and what makes them so dangerous

The ongoing discussion about traffic-related air pollution brings nitrogen oxides to everyone's attention. But high concentrations of nitrogen dioxide can also occur indoors, which can lead to additional serious health problems.

Amazingly efficient - this is how much ventilation brings to the workplace

Headaches, fatigue and concentration problems - indoors, one substance in particular is responsible for this: carbon dioxide. Even in small quantities, it leads to performance deficits and only becomes noticeable when the substance load is too high.

Poor air quality in classrooms leads to concentration problems

To test the qualities of our air-Q in practice, we took test measurements in a primary school in June 2018. For the measurement period from 18 to 19 June 2018, air-Q accompanied the school lessons on those hot summer days out of the reach of children's hands.

Air quality: What influence does air quality have on our lives?

The influence of air quality on our health and performance cannot be underestimated. Outdoor air is regularly checked in Germany. But there are hardly any meaningful measuring instruments for indoor air quality.
