Quite interesting articles from two different companies
AMS - who doesn't sell CO2 sensors - http://ams.com/eng/content/view/download/387555
CO2Sensor - who doesn't sell VOC sensors - http://www.co2meter.com/blogs/news/51851...difference
First one claims measuring CO2 is not enough as VOCs are the source of danger
Second one claims VOCs are related to CO2, but there may be also other sources
))
Both agree though - that a VOC sensor needs some calibration from time to time, and can be used to roughly estimate the CO2 level.
Fact is, that is a vast amount of commercial devices that only measure only VOC and refer that it is related to CO2. Of course for them it is much more convenient, as VOC sensors are much much cheaper than CO2 sensor, yet they sell them in the range of 100-200 eur.
I hope that soon you will have the ability to measure both and decide for yourself.
For sure there will be also a cheaper version of the (now Air Quality) Monitor, that would measure only VOCs
