Airborne contaminants can affect your breathing, mental acuity and overall health. But knowing about the air you breathe in your present environment can help you take the steps you need to remain healthy and become a better you. Honeywell’s innovatively designed, portable Air Quality Monitor enables you to do exactly that!
Featuring a highly responsive touchscreen, multiple colour indicators and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, this award-winning device measures six different pollutants, allergens and parameters. Leveraging a proprietary algorithm, the touch display sensor provides an IQ percentage reading, a reliable measure of how well the human brain can work in the present environment. It also measures CO2, temperature, humidity, mould as well as pollutants from everyday products.
When coupled with its mobile phone app, the Air Quality Monitor can be used to check ambient air quality anytime, anywhere. Take steps to protect yourself and those you care about, with the Air Quality Monitor from the world leader in indoor air quality solutions!
PARTICULATE
MATTER (PM2.5)
Particles in the air with a diameter of 0.1-2.5 micrometres. This is just 3% the diameter of a single strand of human hair. It can include soot, combustion by-products, fossil fuel smoke, cigarette smoke, dust, allergens like pollen and mould, etc.
PM2.5 irritants may lodge in the lungs causing asthma, respiratory inflammation, aggravated allergies, or lung and heart conditions. They may become carcinogenic after long-term exposure, increasing mortality risk.
FORMALDEHYDE
(HCHO)
Colourless, flammable and strong-smelling gas released into the air by off-gassing or out-gassing of pressed wood, particle wood and plywood products, wall insulation, new furniture, glue, adhesive products, etc.
May cause watery eyes, burning sensation in the eyes, nose, and throat, coughing, wheezing, nausea or skin irritation. HCHO has also been recognised as a probable human carcinogen.
TOTAL VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (TVOC)
Emitted by a wide array of household products including paints and varnishes, cleaning and disinfecting products and cosmetics. Concentrations are consistently higher indoors (up to 10 times) than outdoors.
May cause eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea and damage to the liver, kidney and central nervous system. It is a potential source of cancer and may have other unknown short-term and long-term adverse effects.
CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2)
Colourless and odourless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds, and as a by-product of respiration. The main cause of CO2 build-up is poor ventilation.
High levels may cause lack of concentration, dizziness, headache, visual and hearing dysfunction, and even unconsciousness.
HUMIDITY
Water vapours suspended in the air.
Increased levels may cause excessive mould, fungus and bacteria to grow. Decreased levels may cause skin problems, breathing issues, itchy eyes, and may cause/aggravate allergic reactions.
IQ%
Honeywell’s proprietary algorithm can determine the percentage of IQ being used by a person, depending on the quality of air they’re breathing. This varies depending on environmental factors directly impacted by CO2, TVOC and PM2.5 levels. Excellent air environment can have a positive effect on focus, concentration and memory, and raise overall cognitive ability.
Lower IQ% level may indicate an environment that does not support good cognitive performance.

| INDICATOR | HEALTH EFFECTS |
|---|---|
| PARTICULATE MATTER (PM2.5) | asthma, respiratory inflammation, aggravated allergies, lung and heart conditions, carcinogenic after long-term exposure |
| FORMALDEHYDE (HCHO) | may cause watery eyes; burning sensations in the eyes, nose, and throat; coughing; wheezing; nausea; skin irritation |
| TOTAL VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (TVOC) | may cause eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches; loss of coordination and nausea; damage to liver, kidney, and central nervous system |
| CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) | may cause lack of concentration; memory loss; depression; dizziness; headache; visual and hearing dysfunction; |
| HUMIDITY | skin problems; breathing issues; itchy eyes and allergic reactions |
| IQ% | Indicates the percentage of your total IQ available for use in your environment. Indicates the potential for poor performance of advanced cognitive functions related to one or more of the other measurements. Good indication that one of the other measurements are less than optimal. |
Ensure that the air in your facility is safe for you, your employees and your guests so everyone can perform at optimal physical and cognitive capacity. Designed to Honeywell’s exacting quality standards, the Honeywell Air Quality Monitor is the ideal device for health- and productivity-conscious establishments. It can successfully be used in a variety of places where higher environmental standards are needed.
