Which VOC detector do you have?

After I purchased my new house (USA, Georgia) I put in the detectors. My wife is from China where people are rightfully paranoid about formaldehyde - due to low quality building material. It's basically the same in the USA, except people are a lot less knowledgeable and informed about it. My cabinets, drywall, paint all had high level of formaldehyde. Had to always had the windows open...otherwise it would rise above OSHA approved levels.

In the USA, there's no regulated levels for residence..but there is for office. Funny, isn't it.

Eve Elgato: https://www.elgato.com/en/eve/eve-room

Sadly they do not break it down by substance type (which the website almost suggests it does), but i find it very interesting to monitor and that the measurements are highly correlated with painting or opening a window.

Dang! Eve looks good, especially for the price.

I have Foobot (https://foobot.io/) and looks like it cost twiec as much as eve but probably does the same thing. Though, it doesn't say if eve uses wifi..I just see it say bluetooth. I like how Eve is battery powered, you can bring it wherver you want - whereas Foobot is plugged in.

I have UNI-T UT-338C for on the fly readings. I like how the UNI-T can be portable, or plugged in and has a display. I get similar readings between the UNI-T and Footbot so I can somewhat trust it...

It's really rather decent, but I grow to hate the HomeKit protocol more every day (slow, buggy and not something I can mess around with) probably a wise move not going with something apple powered.

Which one do you have that breaks it down by substance?
