I have an Awair sensor, and I can confirm that the VOC sensor is able to detect...well, pretty much anything from food to hair products to outgassing from some new thing that I opened up and accidentally left too close to the sensor.

Yeah, I don’t know how good it actually is, but the one time I painted indoors the thing cratered in a way it never has before or since.

And my daughter keeps trying to see if flatulence will actually drop the air quality depending on proximity.

I got 3 awairs and they were all over the place sitting right next to each other.
