I'd highly recommend buying a CO2/PM2.5 measurer and seeing what the levels are in your house or workplace. CO2 over 1,000 PPM has been linked to reduced cognitive performance. As an aside they function as excellent temperate and humidity readers for general use.

  I use the Plume Flow to measure PM2.5.(1) Then I turn on my Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier to clear the air up. (1)https://flow.plumelabs.com/ https://flow.plumelabs.com/

    > I use the Plume Flow Uhm.. how? "Shipping November 2018" and the order button is labeled "Pre-Order". I'm a bit amazed - and disappointed - by how little information there is on that product page. The "tech specs" are size and weight and that's it, for this kind of product? Pretty much everything is missing that I would expect to know for this kind of product specifically. I even played the clip, still not a single piece of actually relevant information. The only sentence that says anything regarding the intended use is > Flow measures real-time concentrations of NO2, VOC, PM2.5 and PM10: everything you need to understand your exposure and build healthy routines. Given that they seem to target the "average person" they should probably explain somewhere what those abbreviations mean (I do, but what "average person" knows what VOC is?). No way I would order given the lack of information, given that the price is $139 (or Euros). After a quick search for similar products I found this comparison of several products (2016): http://energysmartohio.com/indoor-air-quality/which-indoor-air-quality-monitors-are-best-and-why/ http://energysmartohio.com/indoor-air-quality/which-indoor-a...

      I've already received mine. They've been shipping the Plume Flow for a few months now, as you can see from these tweets of other customers: https://twitter.com/mwt2008/status/1050499520176553985 https://twitter.com/mwt2008/status/1050499520176553985 https://twitter.com/BrianScifiFan/status/1040153420001370113 https://twitter.com/BrianScifiFan/status/1040153420001370113 As I understand it, the Plume is meant for a more general audience so I don't mind that they don't define what VOCs are in their video. This device is mobile, which makes it more useful to me than the traditional indoor products.
