The COV gas detector is used for the orientational measurement of total volatile organic compounds (sometimes called TVOC for its acronym in English) and formaldehyde (HCHO). The COV gas detector is ideal for checking air quality. The TVOC provides

The user, in addition to viewing the value on the screen, can detect an alarm optically, as the screen lights up in red when it reaches a critical COV or HCHO value. The COV gas detector can display the air quality in mg/m3 or ppm

Flat organic compounds (FOCs)

What are VOCs?
The abbreviation COV (in English VOC, Volatile Organic Compounds) designates the group of volatile organic compounds. COV defines substances in the air as gas or steam of organic origin. Some of these substances are hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehyd

What are the sources of the VOC?
Other sources in outdoor air include technical processes in which substances are generated due to incomplete combustions (especially vehicle emissions), or as volatile by-products of industrial or commercial processes. Possible sources of indoor spaces are products and materials for building buildings and interior decoration,

Unlike outdoor air sources, indoor space sources in Central Europe are usually of greater health importance, as the population is mainly located inside buildings.

How do VOCs get into the air?
When liquid solvents or fuels evaporate, and liquid or pastured products are dried, large amounts of COV are released into the air. Less evident is the spread of different substances that are not fixedly integrated into a product. These can be released slowly from the product surface

What health effects can VOCs have?
Concentrations that may have harmful effects on health may arise immediately after construction or extensive renovation, as well as from improper treatment or the application of mass unsuitable products. In humans, irritation by bad smells, irritation and symptoms that cannot be directly related to a disease are

How can VOCs be reduced?
Consumers should select low-emission products. They can be labeled with green labels, such as the Blue Angel. When major construction or renovation work is needed, make sure that materials have been verified in accordance with current regulations. Materials with a recognised and verified green lab

If health problems arise at home and you think they are related to VOCs keep in mind that it will be quite difficult to find the source. Air quality measurements and emission measurements in materials are usually expensive, and they do not usually give the desired results. That is why residents
