Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) are produced from number of sources in the home, such as cleaning products, perfumes, cooking, burning fuels and scented candles.

Our cloud data shows VOC’s increasing in the home through the night and early morning, particularly in winter with added warming effect of central heating combined with reduced ventilation.

Some of these increased can be caused by emissions from our bodies that the VOC sensor can detect.

Still looking for an explanation who VOC’s increase due to higher temperatures in winter. In our case we have a gas boiler far away from there the radiors in the living room are filled up with hot water. Simply that created VOC spikes. The radiators are like 40 years old.
