Smart VOC Detectors for Accurate, Real-Time Air Quality Insights
Detect harmful volatile organic compounds with high-sensitivity detectors built for industrial, commercial, and environmental use.
Advanced VOC Detection for Industrial and Environmental Safety
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Detectors are essential for identifying harmful airborne chemicals that originate from industrial processes, combustion sources, solvents, and consumer products. VOCs contribute to indoor air pollution, environmental degradation, and occupational hazards. These detectors are used to ensure regulatory compliance, protect worker safety, and support emissions control strategies.
For B2B companies operating in diverse environments—from industrial manufacturing to urban infrastructure—precision VOC monitoring is critical. Air Quality Instruments offers robust VOC detection solutions across North America, providing real-time data, low detection limits, and scalable integration options. Our advanced sensors are designed to operate in both fixed and mobile deployments, helping our clients meet stringent environmental standards while optimizing safety and efficiency. Through customer-focused support, ongoing product innovation, and high-performance systems, we help businesses navigate complex air quality challenges with confidence.

Case Studies
Manufacturing Facility, Michigan
A manufacturing plant in Michigan specializing in automotive coatings implemented VOC detectors from Air Quality Instruments across its paint lines. Real-time PID sensors triggered ventilation adjustments and chemical alerts, improving worker safety and reducing VOC emissions by 35%, helping the facility exceed OSHA compliance targets.
Indoor Air Quality Project, Georgia
A public school district in Georgia outfitted classrooms and administrative buildings with portable VOC detectors to assess air quality concerns. Data gathered helped adjust HVAC settings and eliminate indoor pollutants linked to cleaning chemicals. The project resulted in improved indoor air scores and higher parent satisfaction.
Petrochemical Monitoring, Alberta
An environmental consulting firm in Alberta deployed Air Quality Instruments’ FID and PID systems at a petrochemical facility perimeter to monitor VOC release and wind direction patterns. The high-frequency data enabled predictive modeling and response planning, aiding the firm’s regulatory compliance reporting to CEPA.
