¿Qué distintos COV mide el air-Q?
The air-Q's VOC sensor is highly versatile and can detect a wide variety of VOCs. These include formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, styrene, terpenes, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, naphthalene, ethyl acetate, methanol, chloroform, cyclohexane, and 1,3-butadiene, as well as hundreds of other VOCs. We’ve written an interesting blog post about their origins and sources.
Unfortunately, VOC sensors in general—including the one in the air-Q—report the VOC level as a total value. This means that the substances listed are measured, but they cannot be displayed individually. If these or other VOCs are present in the air, the VOC level will increase. However, it is not clear which chemical is responsible for the reading.
The PID VOC sensor, available for the air-Q Science, can be configured for a specific substance, allowing for highly accurate quantification of the exact amount. Please note: The PID VOC sensor is intended only for professional use in laboratories or industrial settings.
