Carbon filters typically do not last very long so it's good to monitor TVOCs.

  Oh, absolutely; I was just responding to the claim that smoke isn't filterable. If you have an intentional fire, you can maintain your filters and run them; spot checking particulates and VOCs. If you are worried about unintentional fires, you address that with a $40 smoke alarm, not a $6k AQM.

    You missed the point. Smoke from a burning couch isn’t the issue, the burning couch is.

        Redundancy. Also, 40$ smoke detectors can take a while to alert you to a fire in your basement etc. So it’s often a good idea to have a whole house smoke alarm system.

  These last a long time, FWIW. >1 year at surprisingly high flow rates. https://terra-bloom.com/collections/carbon-filters https://terra-bloom.com/collections/carbon-filters
