What is the best continuous VOC monitor? 

VOC detectors are also designed for permanent indoor installation and continuous monitoring. These are called wall mounted VOC monitors. These devices are popular in indoor operations, manufacturing, public utilities, construction sites, process control and the chemical industry.

What are volatile organic compounds? 

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic (meaning they are "carbon") compounds known to have certain properties, including high vapor pressure, low boiling point, and low water solubility. For example, VOC is found in a variety of fuels, including diesel, gasoline, gasoline, heating oil, and aviation fuel. VOC gases from these liquids include benzene, toluene, ethylene, xylene and formaldehyde.

Examples of volatile organic compounds in your home? 

In general, VOC is easily present in indoor air through exhaust gases from solid or liquid materials.

New car smell: New car exhaust may be heavy. Many car parts, especially new cars, are made with polystyrene and other organic compounds that emit VOC. In vehicles subjected to high temperatures and poor airflow, VOCs are expelled at higher concentrations.

Carpet smell: The fresh, clean scent many people associate with carpet may not be as mild as you think. Carpet glue and foam pads contain toxic organic chemicals that are excreted in your home in the form of volatile organic compounds. As a result, some states have passed legislation setting VOC emission limits for all new carpet installations.

Mattress odor: Parents should exercise caution when purchasing a new mattress for their child's crib, as cribs can be a significant source of VOC exposure in newborns. Baby mattresses, especially those made with polyurethane foam that contains the chemical toluene, have been identified as a major source of exhaust.

What does the VOC sensor detect? 

VOC sensors detect the presence of VOC in a given environment. Most VOCs are man-made compounds with high vapor pressure and low water solubility. Because there are hundreds of gases that fall under the technical definition of VOC, gas detectors called VOC gas detectors are often calibrated to isobutene. Isobutene is used because it is near the mid-point ionization point of most VOC's and is not flammable or toxic at the low concentrations used for calibration.

How to choose VOC gas detector? 

There are many different types of VOC gas detectors on the market. Some of these include personal gas detectors, portable gas detectors, stationary gas detectors, and semi-portable gas detectors. For assessing indoor air quality, a portable or stationary gas detector may be the best choice.

VOC sensor-PID Photoionization Detectors

The PID photoionization probe& pid sensor realizes rapid detection of VOC gas, is waterproof, easy to clean, durable, multi-range selection, and accurate measurement. PID module is high sensitive and quick react. It can help you alarm the VOC at the first time and make sure your health
