Introduction Formaldehyde is a colorless, pungent gas widely used in various industries — from furniture manufacturing and construction materials to laboratories and textile production. It is also a common indoor pollutant found in adhesives, particleboard, insulation, and even household products like disinfectants or cosmetics. Given its toxic and potentially carcinogenic nature, monitoring formaldehyde levels is critical to maintaining healthy indoor air quality and safeguarding workers’...

Introduction: The Invisible Threat In today’s fast-paced, urbanized world, the air we breathe is increasingly threatened by pollutants that are invisible to the naked eye yet pose serious risks to human health. Among these pollutants, fine particulate matter—commonly referred to as PM2.5—has garnered particular attention from environmental scientists, health professionals, and policymakers alike. These minuscule airborne particles, each with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers,...

Introduction Indoor air quality is a subject of growing importance as people spend an increasing amount of time inside homes, offices, schools, and other enclosed spaces. Among the various pollutants that compromise indoor air, formaldehyde is one of the most significant due to its widespread use in building materials and household products and its well-documented health effects. Monitoring formaldehyde levels accurately is crucial for ensuring safe and healthy environments, and this is where modern...

Introduction Indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a critical role in our overall health, comfort, and productivity. As more time is spent indoors—whether at home, school, or work—ensuring clean, fresh air becomes increasingly important. Among various indicators of IAQ, carbon dioxide (CO₂) stands out as a reliable and widely accepted metric for measuring the effectiveness of indoor ventilation and pollutant dilution. While indoor pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate...

Introduction In recent years, the demand for cleaner air—both indoors and outdoors—has become a global priority. From major cities battling smog to households concerned about allergens, air quality monitoring is no longer a luxury but a necessity. At the heart of this movement lies an increasingly popular and powerful technology: laser dust sensors. These advanced devices are changing the way we detect and manage particulate pollution. Whether you're a homeowner looking to improve...

Introduction Summer brings sunshine, outdoor fun, and long days—but it also introduces a unique set of indoor air quality (IAQ) challenges. While we often focus on outdoor air pollution, the air inside our homes and workplaces can be just as harmful, if not more so. Understanding what affects IAQ during warmer months is essential to creating healthier environments for families, employees, and vulnerable individuals such as children, seniors, and those with respiratory issues. From rising pollen...

Introduction With increasing attention on air quality and industrial safety, laser dust sensors have become essential tools for monitoring airborne particulates. In line with the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China, regulations now require that factories involved in producing materials like fodder, cement, flour, wood, and other dust-intensive operations implement real-time dust monitoring systems. At the heart of this movement is the laser dust sensor—a...

Introduction As public awareness of environmental and occupational health grows, so does the demand for cleaner, safer air. Dust sensors—designed to monitor the concentration of airborne particulate matter—play a pivotal role in maintaining healthy living and working environments. These devices are now widely deployed in urban planning, industrial safety, and environmental protection. In particular, construction sites—often major contributors to urban dust pollution—benefit...

Introduction In our modern world, where people spend up to 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality has become an increasingly critical concern. Among the many pollutants affecting indoor environments, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) stand out due to their prevalence, complex nature, and potential health hazards. Understanding what VOCs are, where they come from, and how they impact air quality is essential for making informed decisions about creating safer, healthier indoor spaces. This...

Introduction: Understanding the Role of CO₂ Sensors in Industrial Environments Industrial CO₂ sensors are crucial devices used to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in ambient air within various industrial settings. In environments where CO₂ is either a direct byproduct of operations or can accumulate due to poor ventilation, these sensors play a vital role in ensuring the safety of workers, protecting equipment, and maintaining compliance with environmental regulations. Typically installed...

Introduction When it comes to creating a healthy, comfortable indoor environment, air quality is often the first concern that comes to mind. At Air Quality Assessors (AQA), we frequently hear this question from clients: “Does humidity really affect indoor air quality?” The short answer: absolutely. Humidity plays a powerful and often underestimated role in determining how clean and breathable indoor air is. Excess moisture can turn a home or office into a breeding ground for mold, mildew,...

Introduction Formaldehyde (chemical formula CH₂O), also known as methanal, is a colorless, flammable gas characterized by its sharp, pungent odor—often compared to pickles. Found both indoors and outdoors, it’s one of the most common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in our environment. While formaldehyde is widely used in various industries—particularly in the production of building materials, furniture, textiles, and household goods—its impact on indoor air quality...
