United States. Carrier developed a new system to monitor indoor air quality in almost any room in a house, apartment or office, a device that is initially available in the U.S. market.
Users can simply place the Carrier air monitor in the room of their choice, plug it in, and connect the device to the Carrier Home app1. The air monitor continuously samples the air in the room, measures particle levels, and features sensors that detect the level of fine particles (2.5 microns or less) that may be associated with health effects, such as potential damage to the lungs, development of asthma, and increased allergy symptoms.
The monitor features an LED light ring that provides a constant and instantaneous air quality status.
For spaces that may have high levels of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), the Carrier air monitor includes a sensor that detects the concentration of such compounds, which can be emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids and may be related to potential health problems. .
Consumers can use the Carrier Home app to access their air monitor from anywhere. The app has the ability to pair with multiple Carrier Healthy Home devices on a single dashboard. The app combined with the Carrier air monitor offers a number of useful features including:
• Share a Carrier Indoor Air Health Score.
• Provides indoor air quality concentration for certain pollutants (PM2.5: 2.5 microns or less), TVOC, relative humidity and temperature.
• Provides personalized notifications of current and in-space air quality.
• Provides educational information on PM2.5, TVOC and relative humidity.
• Gives an update on the current outdoor air quality.
"Our new air monitor allows users to learn more about indoor air quality within their living spaces," said Holly Rhodes, Associate Director, Indoor Air Quality Products, Carrier. "Understanding these unique conditions makes the invisible, the quality of the air we breathe, visible and allows consumers to uncover and improve potentially hidden issues to help create a healthier indoor environment."
