While we often focus on outdoor air quality, we don’t realize that indoor air can be worse than outdoor air. Monitoring indoor air quality is essential to our health.
The main indoor air pollutants are particulate matter, which is generated by the breathing of more people in the room, as well as the emission of carbon dioxide. These factors can lead to a decrease in energy and concentration in the work environment and have a negative effect on the health of the people who work or live in these premises.
One way to control air quality is to use sensors to measure indoor air. With these sensors, carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity levels in the room can be measured in real time. This enables 24/7 air quality monitoring.
The MerryIoT Air Quality CO2 sensor is one of the leading products on the market, presented by the IoT company Qnectd, the initiator of the “What do you breathe?” campaign. The device provides a solution for monitoring indoor air quality. It is equipped with an LED display that shows the air quality in real time after the device is removed before it. Also, the MerryIoT Air Quality CO2 monitor app allows the user to define the optimal air conditions in their room and manage these conditions easily and conveniently.
One of the main advantages of using sensors to measure air quality is that they can alert the user when carbon dioxide levels are exceeded.
This allows people to take measures to improve indoor air quality – to ventilate the room or use more efficient ventilation systems. In this way, the living environment is improved with care for people’s health and comfort, especially in work environments where concentration and productivity are essential.
At the same time, the presence of harmful gases and toxic particles in the air can lead to very serious health problems such as allergies, asthma and even cancer. It is therefore essential to ensure good indoor air quality, especially indoors where we spend more than 90% of our time.
The use of devices is an economical and environmentally friendly option, as they can help reduce energy costs and improve the energy efficiency of premises.
Air quality sensors have many more advantages. They are easy to install and use, and many also have compatible mobile apps that allow users to monitor air quality data on their smartphone. Users can receive alerts if the levels of certain gases or room humidity are above or below certain values.
The health of our children and loved ones is important, and therefore we must take care of the quality of the air we breathe indoors. Measuring carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity levels in real time can help us create a healthier environment at home or in the office.
