Is there any sensor/device on the market capable of detecting carcinogenic VOC at a reasonable price?
If not is there a market opportunity to create such a product, maybe integrated into home HVAC systems that can sample circulating air with a mobile app dashboard for monitoring levels?
I've always worried that everything in my house is off-gassing and slowly affecting my health and lifespan negatively.
