Which gases can VOC sensors detect?
VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds.
These are organic gas combinations that evaporate easily. Examples are
-alcohols
-carbons
-organic acids
-cigarette smoke
-perfumes
-and so on
An exact list of all VOCs or a binding definition does not exist in literature.
VOC sensors do not detect a specific type of gas. They detect the sum of VOC in the ambient air. VOC sensors from Thermokon produce a relative signal from 0-100% to show the VOC concentration.
