NIST develops standard test to measure harmful by-products from air cleaners

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a new standard test method to measure harmful by-products released by air cleaners. This initiative addresses the lack of a consistent measurement approach for chemicals like ozone and formaldehyde, which some air cleaning technologies can inadvertently produce. The new test method will enable manufacturers to improve their devices and allow consumers to make informed comparisons, potentially leading to future emission standards for these devices. AI
