We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about indoor air or the air‑Q. We are also open to sales partnerships and collaborations and look forward to hearing from you.
Most sensors are socketed and can be replaced if they are defective or the shelf life has expired. In this case, the air-Q gives a hint in the app or on the device.
Depending on the version, the air-Q has one or more free slots for additional sensors. For example, it is possible to add a sensor for ultrafine particules or for methane. All currently available additional sensors can be found at https://shop.air-q.com/
At 10–100 µm, pollen grains are significantly larger than typical fine particulate matter (PM2.5 = less than 2.5 µm, PM10 = less than 10 µm). This means that the particulates in the air-Q reports an elevated PM10 value and thus reacts to some pollen, but cannot distinguish between pollen, road dust, and other coarse particles.
When it comes to allergies, so-called pollen fragments are even more significant than whole pollen grains: When it rains or humidity is high, pollen grains burst open and release fragments that are 0.5–5 µm in size—falling within the PM2.5 range. These fragments are highly allergenic and often trigger severe reactions and asthma attacks.
The air-Q detects these pollen fragments. However, it is important to note that it cannot distinguish between different types of pollen.
For comparison, here are some common allergenic pollens:
Forget-me-not (Myosotis) – 10–12 µm
Birch - 20–25 µm
Grasses - 25–35 µm
Rye - 70–90 µm
Hazel - 20–30 µm
Alder - 20–30 µm
Mugwort - 18–25 µm
Ragweed - 18–22 µm
In addition to other air quality values, the air-Q radon can also measure the radioactive gas radon.
