Aerlusive Indoor Air Quality Monitor
Applied Nanodetectors has developed an accurate indoor air quality (IAQ) unit that monitors the air quality while allowing the user to visualise the pollution around them so they can make a conscious effort to improve it. IAQ is one of the leading environmental risks which affects people’s comfort, health and well-being.

Examples of Indoor Air Quality Pollutants
There is a positive correlation between the PM2.5 (scale on left hand side) and VOC (scale on right hand side), as shown by the concentration of pollutants in the Smoker’s house. The concentration of pollutants are sustained at high levels due to smoking and the air quality is poor compared to a non-smoker’s house.
Pollutant PM2.5 is found at higher concentrations in a poorly ventilated house (blue line) compared to a Well-ventilated house (dark orange line). Both devices were placed in the kitchens of each respective house, the spikes shown in the graph are due to cooking. The well ventilated house has 3 high peaks (in the red zone) whereas the poorly ventilated house has 17 high peaks, both over a period of 48 hours. Ultimately, ventilation is essential to reduce the concentration of PM2.5.
Four devices measuring VOCs at different time intervals (Device 4 = 1 Minute, Device 12 = 10 Minutes, Device 3 = 15 Minutes, Device 10 = 20 Minutes). Device 4 and Device 3 demonstrate an increase in VOC concentration, however Device 3 detected VOC concentration two minutes after its peak. This is significant as a two minute difference means not recording pollutant concentration at its peak. The user would not get an alert when the IAQ is poor/ventilation is required. Measuring every minute can detect spikes and when IAQ is in the poor (red) range.
