Does the AirGradient One detect sewer gases?

Does the AirGradient One detect indoor sewer gases? If so, what could it tell me?

Hi @Raymo, welcome to our community!

Please let me consult the team about this for an accurate answer. I will get back to you as soon as I have an update.

Good day!

The AirGradient ONE does not specifically detect sewer gases. Its TVOC sensor may respond to some compounds, but it cannot identify or quantify them.

In my opinion, the main toxic gas of concern is hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). Fortunately, its characteristic rotten-egg smell is detectable by the human nose far below concentrations that are typically harmful.
