The MQ-135 gas sensor module detects ammonia, alcohol, benzene, smoke, and CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the surrounding air by measuring their concentration through a heated metal oxide element. It runs at 5V DC and gives an analog output (a variable voltage that rises with gas concentration) readable on any Arduino and ESP32 analog pin. The mq135 gas sensor covers detection from 100 to 1000 ppm (parts per million, a measure of gas density in air).
The honest limitation of the mq135 sensor is that it responds to multiple gases at once and cannot tell you which specific gas triggered the reading. Cross-sensitivity matters in real-world deployments, so use it for general air quality monitoring rather than precise gas identification.
Hobbysist and IoT makers buy this mq135 air quality sensor for lab classroom monitors, home safety alerts, and ventilation control builds. Connect to 5V, GND, and read the analog output pin in Arduino to get started right away. StemVolt provides this sensor with trusted quality, ensuring reliable performance and easy usability.
