Some links on measuring these:
I was triggered by some messages in a thread:
- [Archive] Kris on Twitter: “Der @JollyOrc fragte elsewhere: “Was nimmt man eigentlich so als Luftqualitätssensor für einen kleinen Raum? CO2 und VOC sind so die Sachen, die ich beobachten will…”” / Twitter
[Archive] Jens Link on Twitter: “@isotopp @JollyOrc Gabs da nicht was von Ikea? Wo man auch einen ESP32 reinbauen kann?” / Twitter- [Archive] Frederic on Twitter: “@QuuxBerlin @isotopp @JollyOrc Ja, gab es: VINDRIKTNING …” / Twitter
- [Wayback/Archive] VINDRIKTNING Luftqualitätssensor – IKEA Deutschland
- [Wayback/Archive] VINDRIKTNING Air quality sensor – IKEA
- Note it only measures PM2.5 particulates, not gases.
- [Archive] Frederic on Twitter: “@QuuxBerlin @isotopp @JollyOrc Anleitungen: 1) … 2) … 3) …” / Twitter

[Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@JollyOrc @QuuxBerlin @isotopp Today, both @Dinsdal85174312 and @jilles_com mentioned Operame, which can measure CO₂, but I’m not sure if they can measure volatile organic compounds.” / Twitter
- [Archive] Christian Buggedei (he/him) on Twitter: “@QuuxBerlin @isotopp a) mir persönlich fast schon zuviel Gebastel :) b) Ich will definitiv auch VOC mit messen, also volatile organic compounds, die gehen bei der reinen Partikelmessung AFAIK meist unter..” / Twitter

Note I wrote about Operame before at Source: Operame: Dutch open source CO2 sensor device for indoor usage: shows green/yellow/red for good/okay/bad CO2 ppm levels.
The above also reminded me of [Wayback/Archive] Monitoring my home’s air quality (CO2, PM2.5, Temp/Humidity) with AirGradient’s DIY sensor | Jeff Geerling (Jeff links to his 3D case file and his video [Archive] Your home’s air could be making you sick. Fight back! – YouTube)
That goes with these tweets:
- [Archive] Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “ICYMI: The DIY air quality sensor I built is a great way to get a handle on the indoor air quality in your home, school, or office! … …” / Twitter
- [Archive] Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “@chrisbensen Not at this time… I am thinking about maybe attempting an outdoor weather/AQ station sometime next year. Commercial products exist but they’re a bit pricey :( (for good reason)” / Twitter
