To make indoor air quality monitoring more accessible, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a low cost, long-lasting, indoor formaldehyde sensor. A unique polymer coating on the ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University say they’ve developed a coating that can boost the performance and extend the life of formaldehyde sensors.

The sensors they developed were able to detect formaldehyde at concentrations as low as eight parts per billion, which is 0.4 percent of the level deemed safe in UK workplaces.

Many everyday items in your home—from candles and cleaning sprays to furniture and cosmetics—can release formaldehyde, a colorless, odorless gas that may pose health risks even at low levels.

The sensor achieved a theoretical detection limit of just 33 parts per billion (ppb) and maintained good stability for up to 120 days. It also showed practical use in detecting formaldehyde in ...

The sensor, built using platinum nanoparticles and a ceramic composite, shows exceptional performance in identifying even trace amounts of formaldehyde in the air. The findings are published in ...

The new, re-engineered filtration system in the Purifier Cool Formaldehyde contains a solid-state formaldehyde sensor and a unique catalytic filter which actively destroys formaldehyde in indoor ...

It’s a random mix of topics with one thing in common: air pollution.Leading doctors have warned that 99 per cent of the population are breathing in “toxic air”, and air pollution has been declared a ...

The bladeless Haxson AirFan includes a heating mode, a formaldehyde sensor, and a purifier while maintaining a rather svelte profile. The HEPA filter should be able to stop contaminants like dust ...

The Mijia Air purifier 5S comes with a formaldehyde sensor to measure changes in formaldehyde concentration in the air. It equips a formaldehyde CADR of 255m³/h capacity. This is claimed to be ...
