We found 3 Reddit comments about Air Quality Pollution Monitor, Formaldehyde Detector, Temperature & Humidity Meter, Sensor, Tester; Detect PM2.5/PM10/PM1.0 Micron Dust, Test Indoor TVOC Volatile Organic Compound Gas; eBook. Here are the top ones, ranked by their Reddit score.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL & SCIENTIFIC – As our newest model, this indoor air quality monitor accurately assesses temperature in Celsius, humidity level, and multiple measures of air quality including concentrations of formaldehyde, total natural & synthetic volatile organic compounds causing most odors (TVOC), and fine particulate dust matter (PM2.5/PM1.0/PM10) which travel deeply into the respiratory tract, reaching the lung alveoli.PORTABLE TESTING – Spot check indoor air quality anywhere or leave device on for continuous monitoring. This easy-to-carry air quality tester can help monitor air quality at home, in the car, and in hotel rooms. The lithium battery provides portable power when DC 5V micro USB charging is not available. Information is displayed on a clear 2.8” 320 x 240 pixel color LCD display.ADVANCED FAN & SENSORS – This air quality monitor has a built-in fan to quickly draw in ambient air to allow REAL-TIME measurements. It incorporates a laser sensor to measure levels of dust particles and has a second electrochemical semiconductor sensor to test air quality including formaldehyde and natural/synthetic organic compound levels.HEALTHY HOME? – Is your family suffering from sick building syndrome? This air quality tester detects organic compounds like formaldehyde which has suspected links to nasal cancer and lung cancer emitted from many household materials. By measuring particulate pollution, an air pollution monitor can also help you know when asthma may worsen and when to change your home’s air filter.ORIGINAL DESIGN & USA BASED SUPPORT – We have Midwest-based technical staff including a chemist to answer any questions you have. Also included will be a 20+ page eBook on Gas and Air Quality Hazards. We have worked with the supplier that holds this air quality detector’s design rights so you can be confident this item is tried and tested.
One approach to this might be to start tracking your air quality over time in the Model 3. There was a recent story about a Model S being in the fire area, where the driver had a clever little device for measuring air pollution elements such as parts per million of 2.5 micron or larger particles. Like the readings you can get from airnow.com. His meter registered massive air pollution outside the car, but remarkably low counts inside the car with defense model set to Def Con 1.
I just made up the def con part. But the meter was so interesting that I bought a similar one off Amazon and just took delivery today (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078ZS8RVL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).
You'll never get readings from the 3 like you will from an S, but you could compare how good the 3 is over other cars, and also possibly establish a baseline to know when the filter in the 3 needs changing.

You speak the truth, my man.
Don't know if this will make you comfortable or not, but you can get portable and stand alone air quality detectors that can measure down to PM 2.5 (really, really tiny floating stuff in the air). I use the Eve Room that is connected to my home network, but there are dozens of others to choose from.

My air quality is always between excellent and good, unless we are cooking big meals. Then the VOC counts goes through the roof for a few hours.
Lets say you monitor your air and you want it better. Consider a room or even whole house air purifiers. They do an excellent job of removing the little floaties that are causing your concern. Quiet, efficient, and will not blow your power bill all to hell.
Do you have animals, and how is the indoor air quality? (Allergens, VOCs from cooking, particulates, off-gassing, industrial sector pollutants, etc)

>I was having trouble with severe eye irritation. It would go away if I slept with the window by my bed open. I left the windows open in the house overnight to clear out the pollution. By the end of the day the gunk in my eyes would make it impossible to read or use the computer. I used the air quality monitor to "sniff" out the sources (there were several) of the TVOC and formaldehyde and got them out of my house. Plastic containers (not food grade) and garden chemicals...laundry detergent in a plastic bottle. All were stored in the laundry room, which made it easier to find them. Life is much nicer now!
It would indeed be interesting if there was in fact a connection between your (likely) 100mW multi-band transmitter and the irritants you are exposed to. I can't really understand the rock salt in a mesh strainer though. For now, before jumping to conclusions, it would be wise to narrow down sources of irritants. If your indoor particle counts are high get a "true HEPA" filter, or if you want to pay out the nose for a biomedical air filter you will want an ULPA (expect to pay $2000 for a few spare filters on a small box with a blower...). That shizz will filter out airborne smallpox samples and dust that would bin an integrated circuit (don't quote me on that if you get an uncurable disease).
If that doesn't work to rid the irritants, you can try swabbing surfaces and wiping the sample onto cleanly prepared Nutrient/BHI Agar in petri dishes (blood can be added to agar for things like Streptococcus). Send it in for cultural analysis or get a microscope and try it yourself. And get an allergen test kit or go to the doctor for one of those skin tests to see if it is caused by a mold allergy or a residue from not properly cleaning surfaces and dishes.
