Restoring Interior Air Quality
A field test inside a vehicle with smoke odor. Two air quality meters track the cabin while an electrostatic sprayer fogs it with hypochlorous acid made with Envirolyte USA technology. After treatment, HCHO (formaldehyde) dropped 93%, TVOC dropped 99% and CO2 dropped 81%.

About This Episode
Smoke odor does not stay only in the air. It settles into seats, carpets, vents and headliners, and into small gaps that are hard to reach by hand. This field test shows how one vehicle was treated. Two air quality meters were placed inside the vehicle to record the starting conditions. An electrostatic sprayer then fogged the cabin with hypochlorous acid generated with Envirolyte USA technology, and the solution was left to sit. Fogging carries the solution through the enclosed cabin so it reaches more of the places where odor can remain. After treatment, the meters showed HCHO (formaldehyde) down 93%, TVOC down 99% and CO2 down 81%. Humidity went up, which was expected because the fog adds water droplets to a closed space. The point of the test: judge odor control by measured air quality, not by fragrance or masking products.
What You’ll Learn
- See how an electrostatic sprayer fogs a vehicle cabin from the seats to the headliner.
- Read the meter results: HCHO down 93%; TVOC down 99%; CO2 down 81%.
- Explain why humidity rises after fogging.
