gas & air quality sensors 23 in stock
Sense gases, smoke, VOCs, and air quality in smart monitoring projects
Shop gas and air quality sensors for environmental monitoring, safety projects, ventilation studies, and IoT builds. This collection supports projects that track smoke, air quality trends, gas presence, and indoor environment changes.
Gas and air quality sensors help projects respond to the spaces people live and work in. Whether you are building an indoor air monitor, a lab demo, a ventilation study, or a safety-focused prototype, this collection gives you useful sensing options for detecting air changes and trend data over time.

Technical specifications
| Typical measurements | Gas presence, smoke-related response, VOC trends, or air quality indicators depending on the sensor |
|---|---|
| Common outputs | Analog, digital, I2C, UART, or module-specific interfaces depending on the item |
| Typical platforms | Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, RP2040, and IoT-oriented boards |
| Use considerations | Warm-up, calibration, airflow, and placement can affect results |
| Best for | Monitoring, alerts, trend tracking, lab demos, and connected air projects |
| Good practice | Treat readings as part of a full system design and validate in the target environment |
Placement and calibration notes
Important: air sensors can behave differently based on airflow, warm-up time, and the space around them.
- Place sensors where air can move naturally and avoid blocking the sensing area.
- Allow warm-up time if the sensor type requires it.
- For decision-making projects, test and calibrate under the same conditions where the system will run.
What’s in the box
Inclusions depend on the listing. Some products are bare sensors or breakouts, while others are ready-made modules. Check power needs, interface type, and calibration guidance before ordering.
FAQ
-
Can I use these for indoor air quality projects?
Yes. Many makers use them for room monitoring, dashboards, and connected alerts.
-
Do gas sensors need calibration?
Often, yes. Calibration and placement can affect how useful the readings are.
-
Are these good for IoT builds?
Yes. They pair well with wireless boards, displays, and data logging systems.
-
Can one sensor detect every gas?
No. Different sensors respond to different targets or general air quality trends.
-
Do you ship within the Philippines?
Yes. Circuitrocks ships nationwide across the Philippines.
