What the readings mean
Two simple signals: fumes and fine particles
TVOC
Means total volatile organic compounds: a combined reading for chemical fumes in the air. TVOC does not identify the exact chemical, but repeated spikes are useful evidence of recurring fume events.
PM2.5
Means fine particles small enough to get deep into lungs. WHO's 24-hour guideline is 15 µg/m³; higher readings mean more health concern.
Severe VOC spikes recorded
