Quels différents COV l’air-Q mesure-t-il ?
The air-Q VOC sensor is highly flexible and can detect a wide range of VOCs. This includes 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 a fascinating 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 cumulative value. This means that the substances mentioned above are measured but cannot be reported individually. If these substances or other VOCs are present in the air, the VOC level will increase. However, it remains impossible to determine which specific chemical is responsible for this reading.
The PID VOC sensor, available for the air-Q Science, can be calibrated for a specific substance, enabling highly accurate quantification of the exact amount. Please note: The PID VOC sensor is intended solely for professional use in laboratories or industrial settings.
