They can correlate, the point is both of them can also diverge depending on the particular changing conditions. Also while the Dylos is better than the temtop, it’s not perfect itself.

FWIW, a friend shared this with me. A $100,000 mass spectrometry device measuring co2 at 700ppm vs the “cheap” temptop device that’s $100 measuring at 666ppm. The similar results and vast delta in price give me increased confidence in their ability to measure.pic.twitter.com/b3RKf3WFgj

More so, this is not so much about Temtop or Dylos measurement device quality. It’s about safety. I have a new born child which has been my primary concern as babies and elderly are more susceptible to air quality due to wild fires.

“Particulate matter is the principal pollutant of concern from wildfire smoke for the relatively short-term exposures (hours to weeks) often experienced by the public. “ https://www3.epa.gov/airnow/wildfire_may2016.pdf#page7 …

If Molekule excels at removing gases, yet the primary concern is particulate matter should your recommendation not be that a Molekule is used in tandem with a HEPA system that are more efficient at removing particulate matter from the air?

Again i ask for the safety of my child, which has been my driving force of concern and research on this topic, as I’m a new parent trying to ensure their safety.

Molekule is very good at both. My 7 month old nephew in Marin is relying on Molekule as well to be safe from smoke, so I get where the concern comes from.

And my point is that toxic gases (including formaldehyde, NOx, other VOCs & hydrocarbons) outnumber particulate 3:1 as a product of wildfire smoke. So if particulate are a concern, these are more so. And luckily, we take care of both. I linked a ref for this in another thread.

Dilip it’s beyond frustrating that you continue to dig in on this. We ran two Molekules on Boost mode in our one year old’s room all night. The particulate remained elevated at unsafe levels all night. He woke up in the morning incredibly congested.

We had the same experience with our 1 month old. The $179 Levoit with a HEPA filter was at least x5 better at removing particulate matter than the Molekule on boost.

So sorry to hear it. Our guy is 3 months. So very frustrating - glad you were able to improve the air.
