What does it measure? CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) – We exhale it, plants need it, but do you have any idea of the current CO2 level in your house? Especially in poorly ventilated rooms CO2 can quickly go up causing headaches and lack of concentration.
VOC (Volatile organic compounds) – Carbon-based gasses that evaporate from many building materials like paints, flooring, glues, etc. High levels can cause illness or allergic reactions.
Formaldehyde – Even though it is mentioned as one of the warnings on cigarettes it is also used in many building materials like hardboard, MDF and many textiles! Especially when these materials get wet (e.g. after a leak) they start to emit these formaldehydes which can cause irritation in the eyes, nose and throat.
Temperature and Humidity – As simple as it sounds, the overall indoor climate has a large influence on your health and comfort. High humidity levels not only make you feel uncomfortably warm, it also encourages the growth of mold and dust mites in your home. Too little humidity can cause dry skin, lips and throat and make breathing more difficult.
Please note; This meter calculates the CO2 level from VOC and other values. This device, and other affordable devices, does NOT have an NDIR sensor.
