Common Questions About Air Quality Monitors

What is an air quality monitor?

An air quality monitor is a device that measures the presence and concentration of various pollutants in the air, such as TVOC, HCHO, CO2, PM2.5, radon, and more. These devices use sensors to detect these substances and provide readings that help you gauge the air quality around you, enabling you to take action to reduce potential risks.

Why would I need one?

High levels of pollutants in your home, workplace, or even outdoors can seriously affect your health and comfort, especially for children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems. If you experience symptoms like allergies, asthma, or respiratory problems, it’s time to consider getting the best air quality monitor. By monitoring air quality, you can pinpoint the source of pollution and take steps to reduce it.

What pollutants or metrics does it measure?

The pollutants measured by an air quality monitor depend on the specific model. Typical indicators include total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), formaldehyde (HCHO), carbon dioxide (CO2), radon (O3), temperature, and humidity.

How accurate are INKBIRD sensors?

All INKBIRD devices adopt advanced sensors that deliver superior accuracy compared to other devices. However, it’s important to note that the accuracy of these monitors can be influenced by their environments. For instance, in a dusty and open area, their performance might be less reliable.

Where should I put the monitor?

Home air quality monitors should be placed at breathing zone height, about 3-6 feet (0.9-1.8 meters) above the ground. Avoid positioning in corners or behind furniture, as well as spots near air vents, window, direct sunlight, pollution sources, or humidifiers, as these factors can interfere with the sensor accuracy.

Do air quality devices need calibration?

Every INKBIRD air quality monitor is factory calibrated before it ships, but to keep the sensor readings precise over time, it is recommended to perform manual calibration regularly. Please check the included user manual for detailed instructions.

Can I use these monitors outdoors?

These sensors are specifically designed for indoor spaces like homes, office, and cars. As mentioned above, dusty and open areas can hinder their accuracy. Plus, rain and extreme weather may also damage the sensor and significantly affect the readings.

Do INKBIRD air quality monitors offer safety alerts?

Yes, all INKBIRD air quality monitors come with a safety alarm feature. You can customize the unsafe air quality threshold, and if it goes beyond, the alarm will sound.

What should I do when the pollutant exceeds the threshold?

When your air quality detector sounds an alarm, you should immediately open doors and windows to increase airflow, or turn on a HEPA air purifier. For more measures, check out: How to Reduce Indoor Air Pollution?

Can I use INKBIRD air quality monitors wirelessly?

Certain models offer wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, enabling you to remotely monitor and track data on the INKBIRD app. Look for models labeled as wireless.

What is the battery life of an air quality tester?

Battery life depends on the specific model and its usage pattern. Generally, the longer the sampling interval, the longer the battery. For instance, the INKBIRD IAM-T1, powered by two AA batteries, can last up to four years on a single set.
