Shopping for an Air Quality Monitor

While we might already have smoke detectors in our homes and we may have carbon monoxide detectors, why not check for other allergens and particulates?

Without your even needing to do anything, an air quality monitor will be able to alert you to any problems so that you’re not putting anyone’s health in jeopardy.

What it can do for you

When you start shopping for an air quality monitor, you will notice that it’s actually quite small in size. This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s any less in its ability to ‘sniff’ out any problems that might be lingering in your air.

There is generally a wide range of things that the monitor will test for, including carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds – found in toxic items like paints, carpets, and other chemical based products.

When levels of these VOCs become too high, you will need to take measures to reduce these levels to a safer point.

What do VOCs do?

Newer science is showing volatile organic compounds are constantly released into the air and may even be responsible for causing illnesses and chronic conditions.

There are preliminary studies that are trying to determine if cancers are more likely in areas with high concentrations of VOCs. And while you might think that VOCs are limited to factories and other industrial areas, most VOCs are located right inside your home.

Without the help of an air quality monitor, you may experience symptoms like coughing, wheezing, nausea, headaches, and congestion; all of which can be avoided with a system of air purifying.

If you think that you might be breathing in VOCs right now, you may want to consider an air quality monitor. They’re inexpensive to purchase for the home and can help you help your health.

They generally have multiple settings so that you can adjust for various members of the family – for example, your infant’s room can have a higher sensitivity than your own.

With an air quality monitor, you don’t have to guess about breathing. And if you need any assistance, you can always contact Steve Taub to discuss all of your options with you. Steve is an expert at controlling emissions and can keep your home and family safe.
