The VOC sensor in the air-Q is very flexible and can detect a wide range of VOCs. These include formaldehydebenzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, styrene, terpenes, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, naphthalene, ethyl acetate, methanol, chloroform, cyclohexane or 1,3-butadiene as well as hundreds of other VOCs. We have written a fascinating blog article on the origins and sources of these substances.
Unfortunately, VOC sensors in general, including the VOC sensor in the air-Q, output the VOC measured value as a total value. This means that the substances mentioned above can be measured but not output individually. If these or other VOCs are in the air, the VOC measured value will increase. However, it remains unclear which chemical is the driver of the measured value.
The VOC PID sensor offered for the air-Q Science can be set to a substance so that the exact quantity can be quantified very well. Attention: The VOC PID sensor is only suitable for professional applications in laboratories or industry.
