I mean... first of all I would like to hear what are the consequences of good/bad IAQ (Indoor Air Quality?)

I'm actually more driven/interested in data/compare it to other folks, but I don't have a clue what does it mean for my health. What's the difference between PM2.5, PM10, PM1, PM0.1. What is TVOC (as in sensor description: benzene,etc Volatile organic compounds), HCHO (is for formaldehyde). How do I measure them (parent expands on these questions), what are the "norms" and, most importantly: WHY should I care about those values?

Then ofcourse tips on HOW to decrease those particles. That's where filter comes in, yeah. First time someone said he just slaps filter on an air ventilator, I was like: "Wow, it's SO simple? Yeah, sounds logical"




That’s one of the reasons I’m asking - the supply chain is really split up.

1/ lots of medical studies cover benefits of better iaq

2/ filter design is well described in academia and by filter makers (grade of media chosen, pleat type, system specs)

For both, we could do some education modules if we did this.
