Hello everyone,

I have an Air Q Pro with the dedicated formaldehyde sensor, and I’m curious about its accuracy and specificity. From what I’ve read so far, it’s generally considered to perform well in both regards.

That said, I’ve noticed some unusual activity. For example, when frying food in the kitchen, the formaldehyde sensor sometimes spikes significantly, alongside the TVOC readings. From my understanding, this kind of cooking activity doesn’t typically release an excessive amount of formaldehyde gas. I’ve also seen a similar effect when using hair products or deodorants nearby.

Has anyone with more experience observed something similar, or could shed some light on what might be happening here?

Thanks in advance!
