Our blog covers indoor air and air quality
Our blog is a guide, a reference, and an information source all in one. Here you’ll find well-grounded knowledge, practical tips and current studies about air quality and a healthy indoor climate.
Hydrogen Fluoride: Invisible Danger in Battery Fires and Technical Facilities
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is a highly dangerous gas that can arise, among other things, from defects or fires in lithium-ion batteries. Learn what health risks exist, what limit values apply, and why continuous monitoring with an HF sensor is important for battery storage, BESS facilities, and industrial applications.

These Air Values Are Especially Important in Summer
In summer, not just high temperatures affect the indoor climate. CO₂, humidity, temperature, ozone, particulate matter, and VOC also affect the indoor climate — and why regular measurement makes sense for health, well-being, and performance.

Measuring Infrasound: Causes, Effects, and Why Measurement Can Make Sense
Infrasound is caused by both natural sources and technical systems. Although it's often inaudible, it can be perceived as burdensome. Learn what effects infrasound can have, how it's assessed, and how the air-Q supports measurement and analysis.

Ventilation Concepts: Why They Matter More Today Than Ever
A ventilation concept ensures adequate fresh air and protects buildings from moisture and mold. This article explains the requirements of DIN 1946-6, why replacing windows can make a ventilation concept necessary, and how air quality can be monitored with the air-Q.

Particulate Matter and Health: The Invisible Danger Indoors and How Modern Air Measurement Helps
Particulate matter indoors is an invisible but serious health risk. PM2.5 doesn't just arise from road traffic, but also in everyday life through cooking, heating, or candles. Especially critical: the exposure often goes unnoticed. Air measurement makes it visible and enables targeted improvement of indoor air.

Dew Point in Spring and Summer: Why Ventilating Suddenly Causes Moisture
Moisture indoors is also an issue in spring and summer. The dew point explains why ventilating sometimes brings additional moisture. The air-Q measures temperature and humidity, detects critical conditions, and supports data-based protection against condensation and mold formation.

QNG & Indoor Air Quality: Why Sustainable Buildings Need More Than Certificates
The QNG assesses sustainable buildings holistically and according to clear requirements. But true building quality only shows in everyday use. QNG, QNG-Plus, and indoor air hygiene are the focus here. Indoor air monitoring with air-Q is becoming increasingly important for making healthy and comfortable buildings measurable during operation.

Radon-222 Indoors: Detecting and Measuring an Invisible Danger
Radon-222 is a natural, radioactive gas that can enter homes through cracks and gaps. It increases the risk of lung cancer, yet remains invisible. With the air-Q, you can continuously measure radon, detect high levels, and take targeted countermeasures to protect your indoor air.

Dust Emissions Indoors: Causes, Risks, and How You Can Improve Air Quality
Dust emissions in the home arise from everyday activities, dry air, and outside influences. Especially very fine particles can burden the airways. This article shows when dust becomes critical, what causes are behind it, and how you can use the air-Q to measure and specifically improve air quality.

Humidity in Spring: Why It Still Matters
Especially in spring, humidity often rises unnoticed, which can promote mold formation. This can become a problem especially in the bedroom, living room, and basement. Devices like the air-Q help make relevant values visible and create an ideal indoor climate.
