does this machine detect asbestos
Asbestos can be extremely hazardous, if you suspect you have asbestos you should call an expert in as soon as possible to find out for sure. Asbestos fibers have a tendency to break apart into minute particles and then flow into an air system. Asbestos particles are extremely small and can be inhaled into the lungs and eventually be fatal.
Dear Sir
I would like to purchase the Oregon Scientific Indoor Air Quality Monitor. Please advise.

I am interested in monitoring the air quality inside a swimming pool building. Gasses of interest are chlorine and chlorine derivatives such as halomethanes, will this device provide data for these compounds.
Where do I purchase this monitor: Organic Scientific Indoor Monitor AR112N
Chris, those sound more dangerous than your average poor indoor air quality problems. I am guessing those are beyond the range of this device. You probably want to get something that is made specific for those types of gases.
If I know that my home has asbestos and the ceilings were scraped at some point in the past, is there a way to check the air for asbestos? Could the heater filter be tested? Please advise.
I would like to know where I could purchase an air quality monitor
