| Sep 9 at 15:54 | comment | added | Buttonwood | At industrial scale, bodies like NIST sell standards, and less so, calibrate sensors to keep the equipment of accredited companies "in sync". More affordable and then accessible to an individual would be to lend a certified sensor (usually with sticker when this was checked) for a day/over the weekend, or to get in touch with an environmental lab. If EPA dedicates a page with e.g., a couple of Q&A about flooring, I presume they have a lists of addresses at hand. | |

| Sep 9 at 7:03 | comment | added | gfdsal | @Buttonwood the sensor almost reads 0 mg/m3 at any other place. Also since the threhold isnt high enough, it logs 0.004 as 0 in the time series logger. Do you know where can i take it to do some bench test like furniture store to get some reference of how high can it go. Offcourse i shall not be purchasing formaldehyde anytime soon to do the test | |
| Sep 9 at 7:00 | comment | added | gfdsal | @DrMoishePippik i am not sure if I am smelling formaldehyde. It could be other chemicals but the sensor also gives TVOC as 0.006 mg/m3 so it could be the case of bad sensor! Although the sensor is new this | |
| Sep 8 at 16:15 | comment | added | Buttonwood | Since measurements are comparisons against a standard, and borrowing an approach in radio chemistry (the determination of background radiation), what is the concentration of HCHO e.g., in the vented garage prior to the addition of the new cabinet presumed to be the source? What is the range of concentration of HCHO the sensor is designed for? | |
