Why measure TVOC and Formaldehyde? TVOCs are carbon-containing
compounds produced by synthetic processes, materials, and organisms.
Formaldehyde has suspected links to nasal cancer and lung cancer and
emitted from many household materials. Most known carcinogens are
synthetic organic compounds as they can interact with DNA to cause
mutations/cancer. A combined measure can give a picture of relative
indoor pollution levels and synthetic gas accumulation.
DIRECTIONS TO MEASURE AIR QUALITY
1.
Charge device on receipt until battery level is at least half full
before initial use. Power on device to determine battery level.
Place device in a well ventilated area for 20-60 minutes.
2.
Power on device. Detector will begin initiation process for 3 minutes
allowing sensors to preheat and fan to draw in fresh ambient air.
This is necessary for accurate results. LED screen will display the
countdown number from 180 to 0 seconds.
3.
To measure air quality, place device in any location for at least 5
minutes for most accurate and stable readings of formaldehyde
(HCHO), TVOC, and PM2.5.
4.
After detection, turn device off and store in a cool, dry area.
