Introduction
I started diving into research about Formaldehyde and how to measure it after my parents started having indoor air quality issues in a house they recently bought and remodeled. I wanted to get some quantifiable metrics on what I could so I purchased a formaldehyde meter and sent off some air samples to a lab for testing. I know this is only a small piece of a much larger picture in terms of indoor air quality (IAQ) but it seems to be an important part of the VOC side of IAQ.
The meter I ended up purchasing is the Extech Instruments FM200 Formaldehyde (CH2O or HCHO) Meter, I have had good experiences with Extech equipment in the past but as you will find in this review I was severely disappointed this time.
