Allergy issues aside, I would like to see an air quality monitor/VOC meter used in a plant nursery. The recent claim is plants don't clean the air well but I suspect in a small room with 100 plants, your meter is going to show lower VOCs than other rooms of the same construction.

Isn’t there a smartphone app for Indoor Air Quality, from like 0.001 to basically severe pollution >500 or whatever. As well as magnifying lenses via another app for pics to see ie., dust mites Fleas and other things that could be very harmful to people and pets? It’s August 2023 and technology is supposedly fantastic but the many manufacturers are getting much better basically each day. And it can be expensive.????? If anyone knows what it is called and and how to find and use it without spending too much money etc. Let me know if there’s really such a thing and the MSRP $$ etc. Please let me know. Thanks

Buyer beware. If you order 3 of these things each one will tell you something different. The first one told me my air was dangerous. Second one said it was perfect. Third one said right in the middle. All sitting next to each other. I'm not the only one if you do some digging it's a known issue. If you have no verifiable baseline reading you have no idea if this thing is accurate. It's a very dangerous to assume it is correct if it reads low, and very expensive if a false high reading gets you tearing your house apart and trying to solve a problem that isn't there. Definitely not a proven device without something to compare results to.

I want to test the air before I start opening windows to let a cool breeze in. I clicked on the link to this monitor and it says page not found. I don’t know how much this is. Should I just do the $595 or do it on my own and purchase a device?

I have the TemTop m2000 and it is awesome, a bit more money but when it is a matter of life or death - I think we may need to spend a little more to not get a fake LOL. I see so many fake meters with only one sensor inside to give 6 or 7 different readings and that is just not possible, so many people are buying them thinking that the information is keeping them safe while all along the information is faked by mathematical equations performed by a micro-processor instead of genuine sensors. Hope this helps. You may also want to look at the TemTop M10 - it is a bit less expensive and is still up to the TemTop high standards of quality. I am getting ready to create a video about fake and legitimate meters and am looking forward to hopefully saving someones life from buying a fake meter.

The only drawback to this chinese-made, noname gizmo is the fact that it doesn't measure what it says it does. The formaldehyde measurement is calculated to be approx 1/7 of the TVOC and the temperature sensor on this thing constantly reads way off. You can get better and cheaper machines that will measure TVOC for you much more reliably, and should you want one that can do HCOH and particulates as well, just be prepared to invest a lot more.

Particle measurements are based on the fact that when a particle passes through a beam of light, some of the light is scattered. The detection of scattered light caused by the particle in the air is recorded on the photo or light detector sensor plate. Unfortunately I may not explain everything perfectly in my over 600 videos.

Is there anyway to test what's being sprayed on us? I was out the other day & I watched a plane at high altitude spray out for a bit. Then whatever it was just started dropping very rapidly above me. I saw the plane start spraying again in the distance.

What would you recommend removing formaldehyde from surfaces?
@electronicsNmore
@electronicsNmore 3 жыл бұрын
It's difficult to do if something is giving off formaldehyde. They do sell air purifiers that remove or greatly reduce formaldehyde.

Hey mate. Would this pick up dangerous mold spores? Need to test my place for mold

The unit cannot differentiate between different types of mold. In order to test for mold, you need to use a petri dish and see what grows.

@@electronicsNmore Thanks for responding. Just out of curiosity. If my PM10 and PM2.5 range between 1-3 does that mean I have a serious mold problem? I have a $50 Air Quality Monitor. Here's what I got in my home: *Air Quality - 3-5 *HCHO - 0.100-0.300 *TVOC - 0.070-0.190 *PM2.5 - 1-3 *PM10 - 1-3

Hello . Do I have to calibrate this device every time I turn it on ? When I calibrate it outside and bring it home it shows very high values . Then if I turn off the device and turn it on at home the values will be very low . Each time I waited 20 minutes for the sensor stabilization. I do not know whether to return the device or which values are correct . Please help .

Not every time, unless you leave it in an atmosphere with lots of vocs. Make sure you calibrate outdoors in very clean air. People spay painting, cutting grass, being close to a busy road, all no good.

@@electronicsNmore Saw the video on Inara Fortier profile. I did similar tests and my results were hcho: 0.780 tvoc: 5.900 if I went outside and came back. If I don't go outside the reading will be hcho: 0.030 tvoc: 0.100. It does not make sense . The device seems to be calibrating all the time looking for the cleanest sample. If these high readings are correct, that's not good.

@@electronicsNmore I have had the house tested by a number of home inspectors proving that it’s loaded with fiberglass insulation and I’ve had Industrial air purifiers to take Most of it out but it’s still in all the furniture, on me and my clothes and in the air outside because of storm sandy in 2012. My problem is I can’t get anyone to believe that fiberglass is dangerous when it’s airborne and after researching for six years, it’s airborne everywhere and becomes airborne from our landfills all over the country, probably in the world. I can’t even find food without Fiberglass in it which is causing me to have colitis now. It’s been covered up just like asbestos was only it’s more dangerous because it affects more than the Lungs. What do you suggest when you find fiberglass in someone’s house? The EPA won’t help because it’s a residence. Thanks for any info you can give me, it is starting to affect my breathing now and I am frightened.

I have an earlier version of the meter and I tested the air on New Year and I was getting 200 to 400 on the PM2.5. Usually the air is around 10. Air with that much particulates is considered hazardous. That is why so many people end up in the emergency room on New Year.
