From dust to formaldehyde to VOCs and CO₂, invisible elements and particulate matter indoors can lead to short-term or, at worst, long-term health problems. Measuring air quality should be a high priority.
Healthier indoor climate
Pollution in indoor air can lead to various ailments - from headaches to respiratory problems to "sick building syndrome." Accordingly, optimal indoor air quality ensures improved health.
Increased productivity
If several people spend a long time in a poorly ventilated room, the air is often stuffy. This makes people sluggish and inhibits productivity. Room air quality measurements ensure efficient ventilation for productive work.
Reducing the risk of infection with viruses or bacteria
The higher the CO₂ concentration in the room, the greater the potential for contamination with viruses and bacteria. Better ventilation helps to contain infections via aerosols and droplets and to reduce the number of new infections.
The use of environmental sensors to reliably and accurately monitor air quality enables efficient ventilation/air purification and the detection of emissions.

The future of improving indoor air quality
When we think of air quality, we tend to think of air pollution in the regions surrounding our homes. We rely on measures such as the Air Quality Index to let us know when airborne pollutants in our towns or cities reach levels that may cause or exacerbate health issues.
We have used Sensirion sensors in several products - mainly because of their accuracy, long-term stability and small footprint.
