I never considered myself an \u201cair quality\u201d person. Sure, I\u2019ve always appreciated a clean home and fresh air, but I didn\u2019t think much beyond that, until I started working for Smart Air. Recently, I moved into a flat right next to a construction site, and I couldn\u2019t ignore the dust and constant noise while working from home. That\u2019s when I got my hands on the QP Pro 2 Air Quality Monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of my job at Smart Air, I\u2019m lucky enough to try out some pretty cool products, and this one caught my eye immediately. I figured, \u201cWhy not give it a go?\u201d What I didn\u2019t expect was how much it would teach me about my own home, and how it would change my routine for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up the QP Pro 2 couldn\u2019t have been easier. I\u2019m no tech wizard, but within a few minutes, it was up and running. I loved the modern design; it\u2019s sleek, compact, and looks great in any room. The large touch screen? A game-changer. It\u2019s intuitive and shows you live air quality readings at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing I noticed? The noise levels. Living near a construction site, my flat is bombarded with constant noise from machines, drilling, and trucks rumbling by. The QP Pro 2 recorded noise levels of up to 80 dBA or more during the day, which explained why I often struggled to concentrate during work hours. It was validating to see the numbers match how I was feeling and it motivated me to take breaks when the noise peaked.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

What really surprised me was how much the QP Pro 2 revealed about my daily habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitchens are like mini laboratories<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always loved cooking, but I never realised it could create so much pollution. The first time I saut\u00e9ed veggies, I watched the VOC levels spike on the monitor. It was shocking! Now, I turn on the extractor fan before I start cooking or crack a window. It\u2019s such a small change, but it\u2019s made my kitchen feel fresher, especially after cooking something smoky or frying food.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The impact of candles on indoor air<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a big fan of candles. There\u2019s something about that warm, flickering light that makes any evening feel cosy. But the QP Pro 2 showed me that candles release VOCs and particulate matter into the air. Who knew? Instead of giving them up entirely, I\u2019ve started burning them less often and always ventilate the room. I still get to enjoy the ambiance, just with a little extra care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hair tool and air quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a fun discovery: using hair tools, like straighteners or curling wands, can cause PM levels to spike. I would\u2019ve never guessed! Now, I make sure to use them in a well-ventilated room or at least not right before bed when I\u2019m trying to wind down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deck the halls, but air it out!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s something I would have never thought about: setting up my fake Christmas tree caused a noticeable spike in both PM levels and eTVOC. As I fluffed up the branches and adjusted the decorations, the monitor picked up increased particulate matter and off-gassing from the plastic tree. It was a wake-up call! Now, I\u2019ll always make sure to air out the room or use an air purifier while decorating anywhere in the house to keep the air clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The QP Pro 2 isn\u2019t just about air quality. It\u2019s packed with features that make it so much more than a monitor. It doubles as a clock, alarm, and timer, which means it\u2019s earned a permanent spot on my bedside table. The gentle alarm tones are such a nice touch, no more heart-stopping wakeups for me! Plus, the customisable display lets me see all the data I need at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
