What are the differences between indoor and outdoor air quality sensors?

What are the differences between indoor and outdoor air quality sensors?

Indoor air quality sensors are designed to monitor pollutants and conditions inside buildings, while outdoor sensors measure air quality in the environment.

What specific pollutants do indoor sensors typically measure?

Indoor sensors often measure pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM), and humidity levels.

Are outdoor sensors more accurate than indoor ones?

Not necessarily. Accuracy depends on the sensor's design and calibration. Outdoor sensors may face more environmental variables.

Can I use an indoor sensor outside?

It's not recommended. Indoor sensors are not built to withstand outdoor conditions like moisture and temperature fluctuations.

What should I consider when choosing an air quality sensor?

Consider factors like the specific pollutants you want to monitor, the sensor's accuracy, range, and whether it's designed for indoor or outdoor use.
